Video card hdmi audio vs dedicated audio card
Last response: in Home Audio
What would be giving out the most audio quality? Outputting to an AV receiver, a single HDMI cable from the graphics card (providing both audio and video information) to the AV receiver seems the more convenient.
However, is there really an advantage, quality-wise, choosing the audio to be output through the audio card, instead? Keep in mind that the discussion is to be a theoretical one, therefore it could be assumed that the hardware used to be the best. Even, graphics-card technologies to be released years from now on could be taken into account.

i have an integrated soundcard on my $300 asus rampage III motherboard and a gtx470. currently i have a direct DVI to HDMI from the pc to my $1200 sound sytem (receiver, 5 speakers, sub) and it sounds perfectly fine to me.
i've used dedicated soundcards and integrated soundcards in the past on the same set of speakers and really there isnt a whole lot of difference unless you are running crap to start with. unless you need the options a dedicated soundcard provides, it really isnt required.

I took the liberty of starting the same thread in another forum, just to be sure.
