    Windows 10 and streaming to a TV?

    Even my aging Fatal1ty X-fi pro seems head and shoulders above the onboard, especially while gaming on my Senheisers. I'm definately not an audiophile but there are nuances I can't hear with onboard and audio positioning in games are important for FPSs for me, especially as my reflexes get...

    are Sound Cards outdated?
