Yeah, you get 8RDA+ for the good soundstorm sound, no need to purchase sound card for it unless you have specific needs.
In my HO, the sound on it is just fine, save your $ and buy something else other than the sound card.
It's the 8RDA (no plus) that lacks sound features.

8RDA+ may lacks soundstorm certification, but
"hardware and sound quality of this board sound are IDENTICAL to those of any officially certified soundstorm board"
When you consider that most pro or + nForce2 versions use MCP-T+AC'97 codec, Avance Logic ALC650 except for Chaintech which uses PCI Audio, C-Media CMI8738/PCI-6ch-MX which is not as good as ALC650, how can this make any sense:
Sound is the same on Asus and Epox although some special connectors may come standard on one and may have to be purchased for the other but that's why they're priced so differently.

The quality of sound is the same except for Chaintech nForce2. That's the important thing.
Some may come with specialized connectors like SPDIF.
Some just have a place on the mobo where you can hook one up.
They all have the same regular connectors which most of us use.

Well I just got my 8RDA+ Rev. 2.1 and it has the typical ****ty "Aud In/Out/Mic" Jacks.....
I got a 5.1 speaker system...so that's an obvious flaw to me, I'll take my trusty SB Live! 5.1 Into yet another mobo thank you very much

All you have to do is enable 5.1 surround in the audio control panel in your taskbar, and the "typical **** 'Aud In/Out/Mic' jacks" turn into front/rear/center 5.1 channels. You obviously didn't pay too much attention to the specs when you bought the mobo, as it should have stated that it is 5.1 compatible.
