Do I need a External Sound card?

[croc1977]

Seriously with all the boards now all built in with SoundCard gone with those those day a decade ago where i will buy soundblaster card pci...

Now the built sound card all built with 5:1 min...with some optical one. Graphics card through HDMI can also get 5:1 with some i think 7:1 no issue rite?

So what's the good reason to get ? Like me my speaker is just the Logitech Z623 Using it play BF3 , Sleeping dogs or FM 2014 no issue leh...sound good....

But one day i took up the free trial of BF 4 last week when play till China part become statics sound. Why? Is my built in sound card cannot decode? more reason to buy PCI/PCI-E Sound Card?

there is no need for a ext card.. unless u are wan better sound..
like ppl use cotton on and LV..

Yes.

What is statics sound? Having noise or distorted? High volume? Looking at it i dont think there's anything wrong with your on board audio interface. More likely hardware issue.

external sound card is KNS due to USB2 limitations.
Even PCI is better.

Huh??? I'm using USB based iFi iDAC at home and PCI-express based SB Titanium HD at China, and the iDAC sounds better to my ears.
