Hi all, please dont shoot me down so quickly. lol
I'm a competent PC builder but never really been into sound that much. Anyhoo, I've new PC and the mobo has onboard HD 7.1 pumping through a 2.1 system. Everything sounds OK to me.
Would I see any benefit if i were to get a soundcard? I'd like to get a new 5.1 sound system for atmospheric gaming, eventually but cant afford that for now so will be sticking with my 2.1 for a while, so would a SC make any difference to a 2.1 setup? I play high end games and listen to MP3s.
I'm still wondering if the stuttering I'm getting in games is due to the lack of a soundcard, since I can't pin it down to anything else.
