Normally add-on cards are better than on-board. They usually have better frequency capabilities[bass/mid/treble](clearer sound), and it can improve overall system performance. Sound Blaster Z is OK for the price. Imo it's better than the Audigy FX. Kak sostavitj kratkoe usloviya zadachi 3 klass.

It has more features, like Voice modifcation through your microphone (CrystalVoice FX) which can make you sound like a munchkin, or Female to Male / Male to Female, etc. And other Special features. If u don't wanna spend a load of $$$ on just a sound upgrade, go with the Z. Just make sure to get the correct interface (such as PCI Express x1 slot), unless you have an older motherboard then it's just a PCI slot.
There are also External Audio add-ons for the USB port. I wouldn't buy an Audigy FX. It's based on a Realtek codec + Creative software which ain't any better than the integrated sound in your motherboard. Hence why it is so cheap. It has no Creative hardware at all. From my experience, most sound cards from Creative sound way better than the integrated sound (not the Audigy FX, which has no Creative hardware).
I used to have an original Audigy replaced then by an Audigy X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro that I regret selling so much. Currently, I have an Audigy 5/RX which has actual Creative hardware on it (unlike the FX version) and it is a world of a difference from the Realtek ALC1150 integrated sound codec that my motherboard has. From starters no more interference. It has hardware 7.1 support. Then there is the impressive cristal clear sound when using its ASIO drivers. Even if you don't use or need ASIO, the sound is more natural, warmer and rich than with the integrated sound. Seriously, my Bose headphones have never sounded so good until I got the Audigy 5/RX.
Also, thanks to Alchemy, I can use EAX on some old games I still play like Medieval II Total War, STALKER and The Witcher 1. I like the hardware EAX of my card, unlike some other software emulatad alternatives from Asus, Realtek and even Creative themselves. And it isn't that expensive either. Just $58.99 from Amazon: Of course, if you want more and newer features and you are willing to spend more, then you are better off going with any card from the Sound Blaster Z series, or even better, with the new Sound BlasterX AE-5. Just my 2 cents.

BTW, I'm running Windows 10 Pro 64-bit with the latest Fall Creators update with no problem whatsoever on my Audigy 5/RX. I'm also using Daniel Kawakami's latest improved Audigy drivers from here: EDIT: integration to just one post and typos lol.
님이 먼저 게시:I use the driver which came with my brand new mobo - ASRock B350 (via the driver CD). Is the one which I download from Realtek better?
I use my computer for watching anime in HD, occassional gaming and I listen music (KISS/Orbital/various game and anime OSTs) when I draw in Photoshop. Im not some real audiophile.
The one from the manufacturer provides the driver designed for your board The one Realtek offers, while being updated in most cases, is technically the generic driver and not configured for your motherboards sound setup. It'll work just fine, but you'll probably have to configure your sound to match how you have it set up since you are using the 1 from the disk, check the ASRock website and see if they have an updated driver for your board. I however tend to use the driver from realtek as its updated more often. But as you have a newer system you should stick with the ones ASRock provides.

I'm also using Daniel Kawakami's latest improved Audigy drivers from here: That's exactly what folks want to stay away from. Please elaborate more. If you don't like then you can still use Creative's own drivers with Win 10 support which also did work fine for me. Just because you don't like something doesn't mean it's inherently bad. Realtek codecs sound like trash to me, even with latest drivers from Realtek on 'premium' motherboards.
That doesn't mean they are bad nor the reason why people avoid integrated sound. You seem to love them after all. To each their own. 님이 먼저 게시:It's just pointles to buy a $40 card that does the same thing to which you already have. There is litteraly zero differences, unless maybe you need TOSLink Optical Out. Something like SoundBlaster Z however, would be a huge improvement. In the case of the Audigy FX, yes there is no point in getting it, because it uses the same crappy codecs from Realtek (ALC898 in this case) like I already said above and which I advised not to get.
