With this motherboard? Because I read somewhere that sometimes the it has integrated sound or something, but sound cards have always confused me.

No it will not need any external sound card.
It has integrated sound.And integrated sound cards are good enough.

need no, there is an integrated chip that will produce sound

personally i don't like integrated sound any better than integrated video. I just fried my audigy 2 card and am using integrated sound till i buy a new card. On board sound on a newish mb doesn't even compare to a rather old pci card.

i just put a asus dx in a customers computer it sounds awesome, and I plan on putting a asus d2 in mine when i get around to it.

Use the integrated sound. Then if you are dissatisfied, upgrade to a sound card.

Thanks, I'm glad I asked before I went and spent another $100 on a card I don't need.
