On-board audio, oh how I loathe you. You make noises when I've asked you to be silent and often turn on the radio when it's late at night. Would you please take some more CPU cycles than you really need and tell me about all the voltage that passes by you. Just look at yourself, you are rainbow colored and have so many different outputs but only one input. You change your header position just as much as I change clothes. I don't want to love you anymore! Go ahead and pack your bags, get out of my PC! My mom is the only one who needs you, I've found new love in my new sound card...Miss PCI-Express. She is quiet and oh so pretty. Her outputs are all organized and sleek, her voice is so soothing to my ears. Whether its the $12 model or the more expensive model, the sound truly makes playing video games or just watching media so much more enjoyable. Stop playing around with the worst audio card built into your motherboard and get it on with a newer sexier PCI-Express card.
