onboard audio will be just fine.

 

in most cases onboard sounds as good if not better than a sound card. if you want better sound, get a nice DAC. ;)

Hey. My church needs a new presentation PC. The one we have now is slightly outdated and still running XP. I couldnt stand for them to waist butt loads of money on some pre-built some idiot at best buy sells them (no offense if you work at best buy) so i jumped in and offed to build it for them. We need good sound on the PC because the PC is also used to play a lot of videos and music along side running the presentations. The build is based on the fm2 platform and this is the board i picked out for now. Build is still in early planing stages. The questions i have is would the onboard audio be good enough? Should i opt of a better board with better onboard audio? Should i go for a sound card? If yes then which one is good? Thanks in advance

Note: This is just one builds im making a parts list for. Making a parts list for a few different price points then they can chose how much they would like to spend on the PC.

Onboard is fine. Wire it to a speaker amp (assuming your church already got one from previous setup), good to go.

You don't need a computer in Church!

 

The wind of God will create sound and the light from God will empower your projector!

Try to tell them that when i dont show up on time and worship service starts late haha

In most cases the onboard audio would be just fine in this case the realtek alc 887 would be just fine. I don't think the church really does pro mixing and such
