whoa whoa...

Depending on the output of the card, yes or no.

I have the turtle beach santa cruz, when i plugged it into my preamp, i had to have the volume on what would be quite loud on my cdp, and i had all the volumes on the puter set to high and it wasnt even that loud.

My preamp is capable of 20db of gain too., so i doubt the soundcard could have driven my amp well.
