I own a Z68 based motherboard which has Realtek ALC892 onboard sound chipset. I was thinking of buying a PCIe based sound card but unfortunately my graphic card has blocked both the PCIe 1x slots. There is no 4x slot & I cannot use 8x slot because that shares bandwidth with the CPU. So I am torn between buying a PCI slot based sound card or not. The only option I can think of is Asus Xonar DG card. I have been scouring the internet & some posts suggest to buy it & some say to use to the onboard only. Since I will be buying a 5.1 headset probably Roccat Kave 5.1 Analog or some other true 5.1 maybe soon, what do you guys suggest?
