hi

im thinking of buying a pci external sound card

but it must be AS GOOD as the onboard audio on this motherboard or BETTER

the audio on this motherboard was awesome ... but something happened and the audio does produce the right sound

Hello mate now why an external sund card have yu go no slot left??

Personally I use Asus Xonar cards in my desktops two with the older DG model and one with the current DSX.
Both have a brilliant GUI for mixing / effects / speaker positioning etc

You can see in the pic in the link it does not need a huge slot either and gets power from the board it can drive up to 7:1 systems my current Logitec Z506 (5:1) almost rips the room apart LOL!!
