Sounds cards are pointless as the main reason someone buys an alternative audio source is to get it outside of the case. If you really wanted to improve audio quality a meaningful amount, you'd get an external DAC and amp, not a "gaming" soundcard.
I'm just gonna stop posting here since were getting OT. But honestly ya you could, but why buy more equipment when a relatively inexpensive sound card and nice speakers can do the same thing as a DAC and an Amp, which in my opinion are stupid expensive for what they do. He even said it;
"If you really wanted to improve audio quality a meaningful amount" Meaningful amount is a point of view.
This is all opinion, if you're really into sound and audio you're gonna say use audio equipment, if you'd prefer to have nice controls on the face of your box and simply have one cord that goes to and from one place. I feel like it's a waste; I have nice speakers and a sound card. It didn't cost that much and it does what I want it to do.
People treat sound cards as extremes; if you want one you can probably use better equipment, otherwise don't get one. Soundcards are the middle-ground for people who build computers. I can't tell you the amount of fiddling I've had to do with amps to get them to sound and good as my sound card, and it was a $550 amp. Again, cheaper middle-ground. (Gotta love know-it-alls.) This was a money saving thread remember?
