Custom Audio Drivers ...and stuffs

[sTizzl]

Okay programmers, i have a question.

 

i want custom drivers/firmware for my sound card and have had zero luck finding anything on the interwebz. basically what i want to do is boost the output past spec, if it burns up i could care less, its a rocket fish 5.1 from best buy, like 20 bucks.

 

any ideas where to start?

 

i have almost zero programming knowledge, but i can learn.

 

i am also looking to crack my Logitech x-540's open and start replacing pots, resisters, coils and anything else that looks like it needs an upgrade. and if they dont work when im done, OH WELL! they are like 4 years old and gotta go if i cant make them better.

I have never heard of custom audio drivers, or custom drivers of any sort before, I really doubt it can be done, however if you do find out how, post the link here, because I am a bit curious now

There are custom graphics drivers, in Linux for instance.

You can create your  own drivers, but it's not easy at all.

You have to know how to build/compile drivers for your architecture/OS and, more importantly, reverse engineer the communication protocol for your card.

But I'm not sure you can boost whatever with the drivers. Maybe changing the firmware on the card, but that's a whole other subject, possibly even more complicated than the drivers and probably impossible.

you can do it, but it's not recommended, or easy
