Hi Steve,
The audio on one of the better motherboards today is fine for most use. But
when we speak hifi quality high bit rates, and real good sound you'd still
need a deticated sound card with better cerkitry.
I use a pretty expensive audio card from RME called Babyface which sounds
amazing, but i'm fully sattesfied with the build in sound card of my laptop
for everyday use.
Best regards
Brian

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.
