Sound Card

[AMD6415]

I have 5.1 surround sound speaker and my computer has this for a sound card (3D Premium Surround Sound Onboard) that is off the description and I don't really know anything about sound cards but would it make a difference if I got a better Sound card my friend said it would but like I said I don't really know anything about Sound cards so if it would be good to upgrade this what should I upgrade to thanks

punctuation is the friend of many.

but if I got your jist after a few thourough rereads, I think you're wanting a better sound card. This one is pretty good.

I used to be on onboard sound all the time, but once i got my Audigy 2zs and plugged in my crappy home made 4.1 speakers, they made them sound like 100 dollar speakers so im wondering what 300 dollar speakers soudn like

Ok well I was going to buy the sound card you put but I looked at my computer and the only slot that it could go in is being blocked becuase the heat sink on my video card goes down over it what should I do

if you're out of slots, then you're out of slots... tough luck unless you're planning on buying a new motherboard. And if you have a micro ATX motherboard and case, then you might have to buy a new case too. That would suck.

seems like you only have a few options, remove one of the cards occupying one of the other slots or you will have to live with the onboard sound.

I don't have another Card in the way i have the Heat Sink from my video card in the way

i would move around the cards in the slots and make it fit in there

what do you do on your PC anyway?
do you play games?
games you'll see a pretty big improvement with a better sound card
