asus a8v deluxe question

tboski123 · 10-14-2004, 06:21 AM

is the sound processing on these higher end mobos nice enough to do without a sound card or is a sound card still a must. i have a sound blaster 5.1 card. it's like the lowest grade soundblaster card and i'm happy with it. would this mobo do just as good of a job, better, worse?

Any sound that comes with a motherboard is fine and the sound that comes with this mobo is fine aswell

....but if your looking for really sweet sound Consider getting a Sounblaster Audigy....or just a descent sound card

Use the soundcard

It may or may not be better than the onboard but it takes work off the CPU

Thats probably why my computers so slow...I have onboard everything

except the Graphics...as youd probably already known

Its not THAT big of a drop (often) but yeah, the point of the SC is to take the work off the CPU (of course the only exceptions really are the Soundstorm/Intel HiDef)
