this is a funny meme but it got me thinking. Normally we say music is too loud because our ears get damaged by loud noises. But if we’re not actually using our ears to listen to the music, would it damage us in any way by listening to it too loud? Or would we even feel pain from listening too loud?

As somewhat of an intel fanboy myself, I would like to give a special thanks to amd for kicking Intels a** and making intel finally have to work for it. Imagine where we’d be if there wasn’t some competition. Hopefully amd won’t follow in Intels footsteps. Let’s all hope for some good competition

Have to say I’m VERY happy with this $40 card. The built in audio on my motherboard made my senheisers almost unusable because it was so quiet and sound quality was bad. Now I have to turn the volume way down because the amp is so good on this thing. Sound quality is up 10x at least
