Now i im absolutely amazed how good the onboard Realtek sounds, which has Dolby Home Theater.

As my sig says i currently have a Xonar and im considering selling this now as the dolby home theater sounds great and truly sounds surround when using 2 speakers.

I have ticked 2 options "Sound Space Expander" and "Natural Bass" these options truly bring out the quality of the sound.

No doubt ppl will disagree with my statement but ive never heard onboard sound this good in all my years in computing.
 
I've been impressed with some onboard solutions recently. Having said that, I think that given high enough quality speakers or headphones there is still an audible difference between them and soundcards like the Xonar D2.

Even where there's a gap for pure quality, onboard options often offer similar features to soundcards. A number of onboard solutions offer Dolby Headphone and / or Dolby Home Theatre / Virtual Speaker. There's less incentive to buy a soundcard where these features are available if you aren't using them with hi-fi equipment. For most people they'll be more than adequate.
