on-board sound or not?

I found the on board sound quality on the A7N8X is sub par.however disabling
and adding a soundcard (Audigy OEM) I would loose front sound/mic jacks on
the case.

If I adding Digital Audio Connecter to the MB would that make any
difference? . (Finding one maybe another subject).

I have only 4.1 speakers and a headset/mic for late night gaming.

What is the best way to set this up?



Thanks in advance for you suggestions

How are the front jacks hooked up? Are they hardwired or plugged into the
MB? If they are plugged in, you might be able to plug them into a sound
card.

Currently the front jacks are wired to the MB...with sound disabled I
understand these jacks don't work. Can the front jacks be wired to the
sound card?? Where/what connector?
