Sound option ?

[raza]

I have a choice for audio on my soon to be new board but from a sensible stand point how should i proceed,with onboard sound(Gigabyte D3H Gen3) Intel HD Audio via Realtek ALC889 with 8-channel support.Or with the ageing AuzenTech HDA X-Mystique 7.1 Gold
PCI Rev. 2.2 compliant with 32bit PCI bus mastering modesC-Media CMI8768/PCI-8ch+ PCI chipset (8CH audio single chip with Dolby Digital Live Real-Time Contents Encoder, The World First Dolby Digital Live support PCI audio chipset)
8CH codec embedded PCI audio single chip
Full-duplex 8CH 24bit/96kHz DAC / 2CH 16bit/48kHz ADC
its a question thats been bugging me for some time now.

Why stress about it? Try the onboard. If you don't like it or it lacks in some way use your old card.
