I have these speakers: http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,CRID=2173,CONTENTID=9066

and I'm currently using integrated sound from the Asus P5B motherboard.

I'm getting some sound issues in Oblivion with the SoundMAX audio, and from what I read the only way to fix this is to get an actual sound card. I listen to music often but I am in no way picky about audio quality(always used integrated before, and had basic 2.0 desktop speakers). So here's my question, will I even know the difference between getting this card: http://www.microbytes.com/computer/ordinateur/product_info.php?cPath=2080000_2080100&products_id=8891
or this card:

?

Thanks in advance

Sound wise, between the two cards maybe not. one has more features I assumed.

Between the onboard and one of those cards. Not much. Until you use the equalizer and tone control for those cards.

I own Creative SoundBlaster 24bit live, Audigy Platinum EX Pro, ZS 2 Pro and the sound difference comes from the software that comes with the cards.
