This Motherboard uses AC'97 or HD audio (Azalia)? Thanks

According to this doc here: http://dlcdnet.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/SABERTOOTH_Z97_MARK1/E9389_Sabertooth_Z97_Mark1.pdf it looks like it supports both.

It will work on any motherboard with a PCIe x4 connector and yes, it will be better than any integrated chipset. This card draws power directly from your PSU (check if you have a floppy connector, I think an adapter is included) so the line power has less noise and therefore, the sound is more "clean".

Yes this card will pass Full HD audio upto 7.1, of course you need to have a mother board that supports HD audio also. The drivers that swich the audio player from your board to the card are a pain sometimes. But my stero and tv system sound and look great with this card.

the answer is no. if you already have the apu you will need an fm1 socket mobo. i would price an fm1 mobo against a new A6-A8 apu + mobo to see if there is like a $20 dollar difference and go for the newer gear

what u can do is insert your driver disk that comes with the mother board. Do not choose auto install every thing. the scroll down the list of drivers and choose the audio driver and install it.

I thought it was fine. The general opinion these days is that better brands of motherboards use fine on board sound solutions. I say order it without and test if it's acceptable to you. It's easy to add on a sound card later if you don't plan on using the Pci-express slot fir a video card.

I think the sound hardware is integral to the mother board. When I had the box open there was no sound card that I could see. As to what the chip set is please ask HP that. Any sound is likely to be low end. My wife used the machine and she is not a critical listener. She understood it was low end and was satisfied with that. I didn't intend to answer until I thought a bit about it. Hope this helps.

Well as with anything sound/audiophile the saying is "it all comes out in the end" which is to say you can have the best sound card in your computer, digital to analog converter and desktop tube amp, but they will only sound as good as the speakers the sound is coming out of. The same can be said for the whole chain really. On board sound and amplifiers aren't typically where motherboard manufactures invest serious R&D; money. So yeah start with speakers and work your way back to the source.

Not really, unless your motherboard explicitly states it is an "AM3/AM3+" one.

SysReqs from the Xonar DG Quick start Guide:One PCI 2.2 (or higher) slot for the cardWin7/Vista/XP 32 or 64 bitP4 1.4 GHz or AMD 1400 CPU or faster256 DRAM sysmem60 MB avail HDD spaceCD-ROM drive or betterHowever, if you're still running one of these 'puters in anything approaching OEM dress, I'd STRONGLY recommend upgrading your entire system to do it justice. I have mine driving a Klipsch Ultra 5.1 surround system with STELLAR results. You can check all the specs at Asus: http://usa.asus.com/Multimedia/Audio_Cards/Xonar_DG/

It has a standard PCI interface. If your board has that then it should work. It's a middle quality board. The driver is low quality but you can research the chip manufacturer and download the native driver with lower overhead but less features. You get what you pay for and this board is better than no sound, which is what I had. If you want a high quality gamer, research the different sound card chip sets and find a board with a high performance architecture.

I'm not sure. I do not believe it would be strictly necessary, but I would either disable the motherboard sound device in the BIOS or in Windows Device Manager.

Sorry but I am unable to identify your mother board! Is it GIGABYTE a GA-970A-UD3 AM3? If so the Gigabyte site indicates it needs 1.5V DDR3 2000(O.C.)/1866/1600/1333/1066 MHz memory modules. The Kingston units are 1.65v and may not operate successfully!

I believe this MB will only work with APU's... I don't use the graphics part of the APU anymore because I got a good deal on a R9. The APU graphics performed well with 1866mhz memory. I bought this MB for the durability and the on board sound.

It does support 7.1 audio, it does support the Asus GTX660-DC2O-2GD5, and it only supports DDR3 1600/1333/1066. I hope that helps.

I have no idea. I looked through all the manuals, etc. that came with the board. From what I can tell it depends on the sound card capabilities. For the asrock this is probably the nvidea gtx 460. From discussions on Tom's hardware it seems that the 5.1 compression is not usually supported??? good luck CN
