I just found out about this. I found a bunch of threads all over the internet explaining how to install Creative X-Fi bundled software to be used with a Realtek on board HDA. People who did this report significant improvement in sound quality. I decided to try this mod and found it to be true. I have experienced improvement in quality, plus the audio output became much louder.
Here is the link to the thread where I found the most up to date modded drivers.

If anyone is willing to put it to the test, I'll be more than glad to read about your experience with this mod.
