I just installed this sound card on my machine..

And what a DIFFERENCE! All my previous distortion problems were NOT the speakers, but my onboard sound. Audio never really meant that much to me because sound is sound and I never thought I could tell the difference, but after hearing this thing i'll never go back.
Anybody with a nice speaker set using onboard sound with a few pennies to spare I would recomend getting a nice sound card. However, when I bought this it came with a $50 rebate...I would have never bought it otherwise.
