I've accidentily posted this in the wrong forum (I didn't see the Computer forum), so I'm going to re-post it here...
I'm buying Sennhesier HD-595 headphones and I'm currently using the on-board sound of my ASUS P5B-Deluxe motherboard. According to the website it has "ASUS Crystal Sound and ADI® AD1988B 8-channel High Definition Audio CODEC".
I'm just wondering if I need to buy anything to make my games (and to a lesser extent, music) sound better. I can't afford an X-Fi card for CMSS-3D if it costs above $50.
I've been recommended the Chaintech AV710 PCI sound card for $25 to drastically improve sound quality.
Is this true?
Do I need it?
Will buying a CMoy or GoVibe amplifier change my need for buying a new soundcard?
