So, which do think is better for Voice Recognition (Dragon Naturally Speaking) - SoundMAX Integrated HD Audio or Intel Integrated HD Audio ?or RealTek ?

The Nuance (Dragon) website rates Soundmax very highly, but no mention of Intel Hd...

Am looking to buy a desktop with either one - all other things being equal, which one should I go for ?

Thanks...

I'm not sure of any advantages that one may have over the other 2, but my personal preference would be soundmax because I haven't had any problems with it. Others have probably had different experiences with each one, so listen to their recommendations as well.

Realtek should be the best. Sound quality for all current onboard hd audio is about the same in term of noise ratio. Realtek has better driver support. When it gets old, you'll still be able to find working drivers for new os.

SoundMAX Integrated HD Audio is the best, but Realtek also good. I will go for SoundMAX for its noise free sound quality :)
