I am currently using a dedicated sound card: Asus Xonar DX, but it´s ugly and makes my microphone make a humming sound when I´m in game(I have tried to put the graphics card and sound card as far away from eachother as possible).

I really appreciate any help with this since I know absolutely nothing about sound.

Q: Will using the built in sound on my new motherboard solve this problem and will I get as good sound with it as I get with my dedicated sound card?

From what I can tell the sound on the motherboard wasn´t as good as on the soundcard but there isn´t much of a difference. The software Sound Blaster Cinema 2 was crappy though in my opinion. I don´t have any problems with the sound now so I will keep using the built in sound.
