Asustek Xonar Essence STX 2 > Onboard?

[SteQ]

Back in 2012 I bought a Asustek Xonar Essence STX 2 Channel PCI Express Audio Card. I've been using it ever since.

How good is on board sound nowadays? Is my sound card still worth using on my next build or has on board surpassed this card?

Will it even work on Windows 11?

Appreaciate any thoughts, cheers.

Thanks for the input, ive not even tried on board sound since I tested way back when. Although i have a USB wireless headset I tend to use speakers most of the time so Im still getting the benefit from the sound card.

The Win10 drivers work on 11? Perfect!
