I recently purchased an SB Live 24 card to use for datamodes, so I could use the built-in Realtek sound for normal computer purposes. I can honestly say I have not noticed any difference either on TX or RX in ordinary sound card operation. I imagine there might be a benefit if I was using it with an SDR (SoftRock, etc.) but I haven't tried that.
Although the K3's receiver may have the dynamic range to handle working with the AGC off I think you would increase the risk of clipping or distortion somewhere in the audio path that would result in "ghost" signals. I prefer to operate with AGC on and use the filtering to exclude other signals that would affect the AGC to the detriment of the one I am trying to copy. ----- Julian, G4ILO.
