Noticeable difference if you have better speakers or headsets.

But not game changing.

Just use the onboard virtual surround.

Unless you are doing music production or streaming, there is not much use. I will leave it up to the gamers for their explanation, but I had to use them since I needed one with phantom powers and an output with 1/4 inch jacks.

Recon3D very minor improvement frm onboard audio (Realtek).

Yups. Onboard sound has grown so much better that cheap soundcards like the Creative Audigy RX and Recon3D sound just a bit better. U need to go for higher end cards to hear the significant improvement.
