Personally I think it's still better to get a different card. As a
broadcaster I wouldn't use the integraded audio.

Subject: Is Integrated Sound Adequate?
Hi all,
I'm planning to buy a new computer. With the rapid advancements in
motherboards and hardware generally I'm interested in people's thoughts
about whether it's still better to buy a dedicated sound card or have we
now reached the stage where using integrated sound on the motherboard is
adequate? I bought my current PC in July 2008 so it is about six years
old. I'm currently running a Creative sound card.
I've never used integrated sound on the motherboard on my home PC before.
Also I don't need the most expensive sound card available but I don't want
it to be too basic either. One feature I would like is the ability to
provide some type of virtual surround sound as I have limited space where
my PC is located and only room for a two speaker system.
I appreciate there is no right or wrong answer to this question but I
thought this list would be a good place to ask because there are bound to
be a lot of people who are a bit more fussy about audio quality etc.
Any feedback would be appreciated. Thank you.
Regards Steve.
