Should I buy a sound card?

BKSlash · Aug 8, 2014

Hey,
I have a Gigabyte GA-H81M-HD3 Mobo and Microlab 6c speakers.
I want the best music sound I can get out of my speakers, but I know nothing about sound.
I have FLAC and 320kbs mp3 music files.
So, would a better sound card improve my music experience? Would anything else improve it noticeably?
Thanks!

Not really, that motherboard has very decent onboard audio. What headphones/speakers are you using?

I'm mostly using Microlab solo 6c for music, and sometimes Steelseries Siberia v2 for gaming.

To be honest, you will get very little benefit (if any) with a dedicated sound card. I'd suggest not wasting your money

What kind of speakers/headphones benefit from sound cards?

BKSlash :

5.1 surround sound etc. ideal for people who want a home cinema from their pc or very high quality headphones, like 300 dollars or more
