That board has the Realtek® ALC892 audio CODEC. It is actually pretty good. It will be more than enough for gaming and movies, and should be adequate for music.

Maybe not, but I think the average enthusiast rig deserves one. If you can appreciate and afford the upgrade, I'm not sure why you wouldn't do it. Discrete audio isn't snake oil, yet it's not a necessity either, so I wouldn't prioritize it over a stable power supply or a comfortable keyboard.
