Hello all!
I remember back the ages that when I was playing counter Strike I could hear perfectly with my headphones, I could pinpoint where the person was based on sound. Today I can't do the same. When i thought about it the most probable cause would either be the headphone or the soundcard (or both). I still have my old but at the time very professional Creative Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS soundcard, so I was thinking if it'd be a good thing for me to swap it to my current PC, which is a 2008 Gateway that has a G33 Chipset and a Realtek Integrated 8-Channel (7.1) High Definition Audio. My Soundblaster if I recall was 5.1, but that doesn't matter as today I only have a 2.1 system.
tl;dr - Should I swap my good old Sondblaster Audigy 2 ZS to my pc which has a newer but integrated soundcard?
Thanks!

I'd wholly recommend changing it. If anything you save a few CPU cycles with having the soundcard installed, which processes the sound on the card as opposed to the CPU.
