use-case for sound?

actually though, I have no idea. Do you get that much better audio out of a discrete sound card these days?

@wertimer @npc use a digital cable and an external DAC and you solved it the modern way

@sun @npc same question, though, is there a noticeable quality increase over mobo sound (for normal inexpensive headphones)?

@wertimer @npc the problem with onboard audio is that they get electrical noise and they are the cheapest possible components. it varies from board to board. if you get an OEM Dell it is noticeably fucking terrible. If you buy a nice ASUS board for your build it's fine.
