Of course, the source material plays a major role, but having hardware that natively supports it is vital. I tend to listen using 24-bit 48000Hz or 96000Hz, which sounds excellent on my system. What is more important for me is the 24-bit bit depth since that usually results in less signal noise being introduced into the audio signal – especially if the source is 24-bit. (You can tell by the price.) Certainly, the ALC1150 and ALC892 both allow 24-bit 192kHz, but they do so in a noisy way. While it is true that 192kHz is overkill and human hearing is rarely over 22050Hz, cards that are capable of achieving this tend to offer higher quality sound. Even though the ALC1150 produces less noise than the ALC892, the noise is still there. I can hear background noise and hiss from the motherboard audio (ALC1150 and ALC892) when the volume is turned up, and it is annoying. It depends upon what you want to do and the kind of audio hardware you have. So, why bother investing in a separate sound card if the existing sound is “good enough.” These boards usually use the ALC1150 or the newer ALC1220. Modern motherboards now include onboard audio processing that rivals or exceeds dedicated sounds of the past. Let’s answer this question first and get it out of the way since there are many debates arguing whether or not a dedicated sound card is worth the cost. Any links to Amazon are affiliate links to help readers locate the parts easily and to help cover the time spent researching and writing this article. Is there a difference in sound quality between a dedicated sound card and motherboard audio? Here are my tests and opinions from using the two myself. This article looks at the Asus Xonar DX PCIe sound card running in Linux and compares it with existing motherboard audio featuring the ALC1150, which is found on most higher-end motherboards these days. my onboard sound is from a alc887 (realtek).So, you have finally constructed your ultimate tower of silicon greatness featuring quad SLI, NVMe storage, 4TB SSD data, 4K monitors, the latest multi-core CPU, maxed out RAM, and… what? You’re still using motherboard audio? You poor thing.

I had plugged them into phillips bdp3480 and they sounded deeper and full ranged. Since he claims that his bluray player sounded better, it's likely more due to a better DAC/output then the amplification. That said, I've heard similar stories about Creative's drivers.

The 3rd party unified drivers are excellent if you want some added features and to run at the more recent driver versions even with older models. The only thing is that Asus is fairly bad at maintaining the drivers for all but the newest models. Never had any issues with either the D2X or STX honestly. And if you were going to get a sound card you would be much better off getting a mid range one. I have never used a Creative Sound Blaster but I would look into them as their drivers might be better. When I disable the audio driver and re-enable it again it works just fine.

However even with the 3rd party drivers you can still get problems.Occasionally when I startup my PC all sound is converted to pure static for no good reason. They have multiple problems with them and you will need to use a 3rd party driver to eliminate most of them. I would stray away from using an ASUS sound card. I don't know of any decent 5.1 or 7.1 ones though. There's also several external solutions which several people in this forum swear by (Fiio seems to be the most popular brand for lower budgets here). Something like the Xonar D2X would perhaps be the better option if you're using multiple analog cables. If you're Blu-ray player is a good one which seems to be the case, the dgx would have a lesser sound quality.

Your statement is only true if OP is using a digital connection which it seems like his speakers don't have any input dgx may or may not be a decent upgrade from your onboard. I'd assume you'd be aware that a well implemented set of speakers will use the DAC in the sound card rather then the built in one when you're connecting the speakers to the computer or player with an analog cable. Amplification is done within the receiver/built in amp.Since he claims that his bluray player sounded better, it's likely more due to a better DAC/output then the amplification. No, sound cards have no effect on speakers.
