Hi,

I'm in the process of upgrading to a new motherboard (ASUS PN5-E SLi). It has Realtek ALC883 6-channel audio onboard. I have a PCI Sound Blaster Audigy 7.1 card on my old motherboard however and was wondering if anyone knows which is better. Should I transfer my old SB Audigy over or use the onboard Realtek?

Thanks.

i tried onboard sound a with headset and mic and it was very poor quality
although sound in other stuff was ok
