Does sound card make any difference to BlueTooth audio?

[blanketyblank]

I use a bluetooth wireless receiver sometimes, and I was curious whether or not my sound would be affected at all by the soundcard I have. The device used is bluetooth AV Audio, and I use bluesoleil to pair it. I was wondering if things first go through the soundcard first before going to the receiver or does it just go direct?
Are effects like CMS, EAX etc... applied before being transmitted?

Just want to know whether I'm missing out on something by not plugging directly.

does it matter? bluetooth recompresses your music for tranmission over bluetooths lousy bandwidth, so quality is lost regardless.

Bluetooth audio prosses the sound on its own. So it doesn't matter what sound card you have. If you have a bluetooth dongle plugged in and a set of bluetooth headphones its the dongle thats doing all the work not the sound card.

Right. Some of the reasons for this are detailed here:

Lousy bandwidth? I don't think so.

😛 thats different use of the term to mean the encode settings, not whether its lossless.

if it uses A2DP then its going through another lossy encode before it hits the speakers.
