Sound card questions

[jpugh99]

Should I get a sound card? I have an ASRock H97m pro4 and the on board audio is pretty decent. If so I would like to spend no more than $50 on it. Anyone have any advice? I'll be using Sennheiser HD 558 headphones.

If you're not going to spend more than $50 on the sound card, you're probably better off not spending it. $50 sound cards aren't any better than onboard audio. To get better than onboard sound, you'd have to spend about $150.

Ouch. Way too expensive for my budget right now. Thanks for the help.
