Yes, the device can be used as an external sound card. We have been using it as such for the last couple of years. The internal sound card in our computer does work but it does not support 7.1 (or 5.1 for that matter) so we purchased this device. It has performed well.

Nope, as long as you get the XTD version, it comes with an external sound card. I highly recommend this headset if you have the dough for it. It's super comfy and sounds insane.

You don't have to buy a sound card to have them sound good but if your motherboard doesn't have on board 7.1 sound on it then it's best you get a sound card. I'm using my on board 7.1 and didn't buy a sound card and they sound great to me but could be better with a sound card. Getting a sound card isn't a bad investment for your computer though if you don't have one

It all depends on your mother board. If it is a gaming motherboard it will most likely have a very good sound card built into it. If you have a cheap one, expect it to have cheap sound.

No... all external sound cards are desing for external speakers. Your internal speaker will only work with the internal sound card.

Hi Susan sorry to hear of your problem, but my first unit had to be returned to store as it did not function, the second works fine on XP and with my ROBERTS sound unit,hope you get sorted soon

Yes. You should do so - and uninstall all drivers for the onboard audio - before installing the card. I guess technically you shouldn't have to, but everything I've read about the card suggests it won't work right if you don't.

Sound may not work unless you go into control panel in Windows and change the default sound device to the newly attached monitor.

I would not think so. A sound card is something totally different. If your sound card died, no speakers will work for you. You would have to have your sound card replaced.

This is a sound card that is affordable and solves your problem. If you use Windows XP I suppose your computer is old, so, this model is appropriate for your computer.

This is not intended to replace a sound card. I have the Creative sound card installed on my Vista desktop which works very well with my Bose sound system. The AXX is pricey, but are not most quality devices costly?

Should not have to... windows supports having multiple sound cards... you'll just need to select your output device in Sound Properties in control panel.

No. This motherboard doesn't need a sound card. Why pay so much if it didn't have quality sound lol

I can't answer for every kind of motherboard, but mine sounds great without a sound card. And I run it without any equalization at all.

Sorry.Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

I dont know. but this usually sounds better than the computer on board sound on old computers. But I am using the Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium PCI Express Sound Card and it is awesome sounding get that one like that if you want a good one.
