Ah, the controversial Realtek mod :) Given that Sony and Aiwa share their innards on many products, that sub and speakers combo would match up nicely. But then again, upgrading the source, in your case the Realtek chipset, to a dedicated one will make a lot of difference. And I'm not even talking about computer hum and buzzing, just from plain clearer audio. Btw man, if you can, get the regular X-Fi Go, not the X-Fi Go Pro, as it is indeed inferior to the regular model and a very large batch had a slight buzz reported by users, while the regular Go doesn't have anything like that, and can output real 24-bit. Maybe you could look up on refurbished versions, which usually have 30, 40 or 50% discount prices.
