Before I bought my current board (Abit NF7-S rev. 2) I tried doing some research on the Soundstorm. Didn't find much here on OC forums or on the web. The majority of what I did find seemed to say it's good quality audio, even comparable to the Audigy(1 or 2). So I'm starting this thread for others who might be wondering as to the quality of the sound.
My opinion is that the sound quality is mediocre compared to my Audigy2. I watched some DVDs and played some games. The sound was just "flat", seemed hollow and just lacking in richness.
For the recordI have the z680's which are damn good speakers IMO. And this board is one of the few which are "Soundstorm Certified" according to a list I saw.
So I plugged in the Audigy and I'm much happier. And I won't be using the Soundstorm ever again unless my Audigy dies.
