i was looking for a way to be able to hook up my tv/xbox to my pc speakers and I have heard that this card will allow me do to so. also, I am currently using onboard sound on my Asus A7N8X deluxe but I have started to have occasional problems with the sound (the sound begins to crackle unless I stop playing music for about 10-15 min). I think that no longer using the onboard sound should stop this problem
Any sound card will allow you to hook up your speakers... it's just the platinum has the breakout box to make it easier. Note that the onboard sound you've got is quite good and the Soundstorm is a very solid audio platform

aside from one being internal and the other external, what are the differences? there must be some difference because the price difference is very big usually between $40-$70.
No difference really. The external one costs more because of the convenience.
