Alright /g/, what's the verdict on pic related?
I'm in desperate need for a sound card for my gayming since my on board sound sounds like absolute bumhole. It's all really fucking flat with no bass, almost like there's an invisible dildo stuck in my ear whenever I use my headphones.
Pic related is about 23 quid, very cheap, but I don't know if that means it's shite when it comes to soundcards.

Wrong answer
The problem are your speakers/headphone, a soundcard wont make your gaymen headset any better.
>>51477744
Thats 55 quid m8. I don't need super high quality sound, just something that'll let me listen to/play stuff with decent quality.

But it most likely will. I've used the same headphones on other pc's and they sound way, way better.

>didn't mention gaymen
>Could be mobo or headphones
>OP didn't mention any headphone problems
Therefore he should get a DAC if he wants to get his monies worth. just my opinion senpai
>>51477879
Which ones are you using?
>>51477841
I see what you mean now senpai, in that case a soundcard will be fine

>It's all really fucking flat with no bass
That's what you should be heading for. A soundcard should not modify the original audio source, unless instructed to, with an equalizer for example.
What headphone brand/model?

Forgive me for being uneducated about sound and all that but I have no idea what you mean
>>51478123
Get good headphones first, then decide if you need a new sound card/dac

I've bought a Xonar DX in February for like ~80$. I use it with my 7 years old 5.1 setup. It reaaally made a difference. I don't really use it with headphones, but I think it's worth to go for it. In 5.1, I hear sounds, that I didn't even know that exist.
