  • Audio output power available from MB

    I have a GA-P55A-UD7. Do the direct outputs from the motherboard have enough power to drive speakers or must you use an external amplifier?

    it depends on what size the speakers are i guess but most good quality pc speakers come with built in amp to drive the subwoofer,satallite speakers dont use that much power anyway

      I am talking about just "speakers". Wire and cones. How much power is available at the connectors of the MB. Are the outputs protected so actually attaching a low impedance load will not damage them. Or is it a low level designed ONLY for an external amplifier of any sort.

          They will power many types of speakers, actually quite well too!

          Of course larger ones they might not do so good with
