Is there any difference in terms of audio quality between an integrated audio card on the motherboard or a regular sound card? I know this issue has probably been debated before and I apologize for the redundancy. I have RealTek integrated sound on the motherboard and was trying to save a few bucks when I got this system.

Thanks guys for all your input. I figured that if I couldn't get help in a forum like this that specializes in these type of problems, then there's no hope for me. Thanks guys.

Thanks Chris for your input. I just have regular speakers/subwoofer system connected to the the two audio ports in the back of the PC, 5.1/7.1 channel audio configuration. I don't have headphones so I haven't tried that avenue yet. Thanks

What's up guys? I have a problem that is annoying the heck out of me. I have a PC with a Gigabyte X58-Ud7 mobo, an integrated sound card, RealTek HD audio. Every time I stream video music from Utube, or play mp3 audio songs, or even play CD music, I keep hearings these clicks and pops in the background. It is so frustrating that I can't narrow down where the problem lies. I've tried everything: updated the drivers, flashed the bios, but to no avail, don't know if it's a hadware or software related issue. But I keep hearing these clicks and pops. So frustrating. I have two speakers and a sub woofer connected to the PC so these clicks and pops sounds are amplified. Any input from any of you, techno savvy guys it's greatly appreciated.

I've had some of Nina's songs for years including Little Girl Blue. Song brought me to tears first time I heard it, so soulful. It sounds like she had some classical piano training as it shows in this song, I might be mistaken.
