Martin Logan dynamo 300 to sound card?

[vincedea]

Hey guys I was wondering could I purchase this subwoofer and hook it up straight to my sound card and to be able to control the volume of the sub using the windows volume control system? The current soundcard I use right is an creative xfi xtremem gamer sound card and I was thinking of upgrading my card to an xonar that would allow to hook up a sub straight to the card.

My current setup I have SZ 2.0 hooked up to an emotiva mini xa 100, which is hooked up to my sound card. I havent been able to find a sub I really like design wise that have speaker level inputs and outputs.

So any ideas if this is possible to hook up the martin logan dynamo 300 sub straight to sound card and use windows to control the volume?

your extreme gamer also allows direct connection to sub, you just need a stereo minijack to rca cable.

an example just so you have an idea of what you are looking for.

Why not? Check the mixer, it should have the subwoofer channel. Normally you don't mess with that though. Once you got all the speakers balanced out, you just use main volume to raise and lower all channels.
