I use the onboard sound on my asus p5k through digital coax to my 5.1 amp, there would be absolutely not difference between that and a sound card since the amp is decoding it.

What speakers do you have?
If you have decent speakers, i.e 5.1 then you will hear a benefit, if its cheap £20 stereo speakers, then no

You can pick up and older soundblaster audigy with the front ports for less than £50.

Has loads of inputs on the front panel then, they come with a lot of software as well

I have a Asus Xonar kicking around.
BRAND new in a box still. I tried it in my PCI express port and I had too much in my case to fit it in :(

Im glad you've reminded me. Im gonna stick it on ebay for £100 + P&P, your welcome to it for £90 all in if interested.

very impressive sound cards. You wont find a bad review

As little as possible to start with, been told to go for a external usb audio interface, and for a cheap version m-audio arent bad. Just something to get me started, have a muck about and see how it goes. Had a look and they are about £60 which is about right, don't mind paying that.

it's one of those things I've always been on the verge of doing but never got around to it.

How much are you wanting to spend on a card?

I want to have a mess about with a few sound programs but i'm getting bogged down with stuff I don't understand, any ideas what i'd need to get going, just basic really. Thinking of using Logic as I know a few people who use it at a more advanced level but say its not that hard to use.
