I've never noticed. But OEM PC speakers sound so ---smurfy--- that ---smurfy--- onboard audio would be impossible to notice. You think it's because of bad shielding or a ---smurfy--- decoder?

I had a right messabout getting sound for dos to work,
if i was you id buy a board with an ISA slot if you can find one (ebay !).
I have a ISA soundblaster 16 and sound blaster 2.0 and
both work perfect and sound nice.

It all comes down to motherboard, quite a few dont support pci soundblaster
devices. Asus p4c800 deluxe does, most pci soundcard works with this board for me but SIS chipsets - forget it :( , and most new motherboards wont touch a dos pci soundcard.

I got my SB Live to work under DOS, but it was VERY picky about what slot and IRQ # to use.
