Personally, I stopped using a dedicated sound card back in 2004 when I switched to Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with its Soundstorm onboard audio which got pretty good reviews at the time. I noticed Creative and Asus are still making new sound cards today and I'm wondering, what's the point? Is there really a noticable difference in..let's say..watching movies or gaming with your regular onboard audio compared to Asus Xonar DX or Sound Blaster Z especially, if you're using a 2.1 setup or headphones?
