    Do I need a sound card?


    Hello.
    I have an onboard sound. Supplied by a Sound Max HD audio chip. Which is great but it still lingers in my head do I need one?

    Does it work ok and are you happy with it?
    There is a difference between wanting one and needing one.
    If it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Also depends on what you do on your computer.. do you game, listen to music, watch movies?

    Sometimes getting a usb headset works well too.
