What is an optical sound card?
The optical sound card is a sound card that makes a sound for devices that have a digital optical input. The digital optical input, which is usually used for multi -channel audio channels, uses the optical fiber cable to transport data from the optical sound card to the sound device ready for optically. Since optical fibers are well suited to multi -channel sound, optical inputs are most often found in sound receivers to set home theater. A computer equipped with an optical sound card can make a multi -channel sound from the computer to the optical input of the home theater receiver.
Sound production from the computer, the sound card is an internal or external device that processes sound information from a computer for playback on output devices such as a set of speakers, headphones or audio receiver. Internal audio cards are installed in a slot located inside the computer while external sound cards usually connect to the computer using UniversalSerial Bus (USB) or Firewire. Generals, optical abilities are found on audio cards that process top, multi -channel sound.
The optical cable can also be called the Toslink cable. This type of cable consists of a series of optical fibers, thin tubes transmitted by light made of flexible transparent material such as silica or fluoride glass. Inside the cable, the optical fibers move data from one location to the other by transmission of the wave wool on the refractory tube. The optical fiber is flexible, bent, and it has been shown that the data transfer rates have been significantly faster than most types of metal cables. The fields that study the use of optical fibers are called optical fibers.
Optical fibers are convenient for use with high -resolution audio signals because they experience less interference and less losses than metal fibers used in wires. Less interference with signOptical sound card cables can stand a clear signal when it is located near other, potentially interfering electronic objects than the wires of sound card based on metal. This can help improve sound quality in places with interference from many electronic devices.
Loss and interference are some of the most common sound quality problems that have sound card users. When discussing sound and data, loss indicates degradation of data quality or sound feed, as the length of the cable expands. A cable that loses less information would be considered less losses. Because they are less lossy than metal wires, an optical cable such as a cable used in an optical audio card
