Default Whats the difference?

Hi,

I was just wondering what the difference between more expensive sound cards are? I understand the difference between better video cards - the better it is the better the quality of picture. Is this the same with Sound cards and if so which is the best on the market for under $150.

It is true to some degree, but for the most part a $30 sound card provides excellent sound quality...sound cards, in my opinion, are just another marketing ploy, and onboard sound does just fine in 95% of situations.
