Sound card necessary in 2017 and for future?

becontroller · Nov 25, 2017

Hello,are the motherboards 7th gen LGA 1151 sound cards integrated enough to get a good sound like audiophile?

Im audiophile and i would like the best high res music as possible.I have bought months ago an internal sound card called sound blaster audigy RX 7.1.I also have a 5.1 speakers on my PC.

I havent bought a motherboard yet so im asking this if should i sell my sound card.

Or is better to upgrade it for a better one like this.

On board should is a lot better than it used to be. However as you know, any should card is only as good as the speakers/headphones etc you connect to. I would keep the sound card, try your on board sound first.

Personally, on my last PC I bought a cheapo rocketfish sound card and felt like I heard a difference. Can't use it on my current build though, not enough ports. But I'd say just try it to see what you think

Yeah,sound onboard has improved a lot now.Im going to test them out and see which sounds better and then decide if sell or not.

Thanks.
