Well, I would definitely say that if your computer doesn't work with one creative product, it may not work with another one, so you should go for the Asus...

Make sure to follow your posts, or you wont get notifications about people trying to answer your questions! (There is a setting that makes you automatically follow the threads you post to, which is what I do, otherwise I would not be able to remember each time I post...) Anyway, unless your onboard is completely broken, or something is seriously wrong with it, I would stick with onboard. If you still feel that you NEED a dedicated sound card, you should get the Asus one, because the drivers that Creative releases are generally broken.

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)
