Sound Cards

[kjframe]

As a gamer, I like many other gamers I assume, listen to music instead of most of the actual game sound.
My question is
What are some of the benefits of a sound card?

generally not, I normally have the game sounds 80% of the time, only when playing like FPS games do I have music on, unless my friends are on comms with me!

 

Sound card? no benefit at all, depends on what audio equipment you are using (such as high impedance headsets or 7.1 surround sound)

that's weird haha, i can't play music while gaming, i have to have the game sounds playing or else i wont be in the "zone" if you know what i mean

 

a soundcard is only beneficial if you have headphones that need driving that your motherboard can't do. .....i think lol

yeah mostly if I play Battlefield and stuff, and not playing with friends I like to have music on, never for single player games though

The benefits are virtual surround and 5.1/7.1 out.

So would it really be useful at all for me?
I always have on my HyperX Cloud headset whether its voice comm, music, and the occasional game sound

Don't think it would be worth for you
