Here is the difference between speaker out and line out (credit goes to the original author here):<\/p>\n

“Its all a question of impedance, speaker out is expecting a low impedance, 4-32 Ohm object to be stuck on it. Line-out is expecting a high impedance (I think 1kOhm) object to be stuck on it. If you dont put the correct matched object on each output you get a loss of signal quality.<\/p>\n

With highly strung amps you can actually do damage but the cheap stuff on a soundcard is pretty immune. Also a PC soundcard generates so much noise that the increase by the impedance mismatch is hardly noticeably. Normally all I really see is a drop in frequency response.”

“Impedence” is the ratio of voltage to current – similar to, but not exactly resistance. Read more about it here<\/a> if you are interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
