this is not advice and not a spam... just my experience. internal sound very long time disabled in the bios, so system just don't see this and don't ask the drivers. for media and games i use gsx1200pro(:because 1000 wasn't in the store i bought:) and this also don't need any drivers, but windows inside that appear in the device manager. all i had need only set there settings i want. in games and in movies srh1540 i think 100% open the potential maximum true way without any "enhancement fancy things" same as rtx hdr need to see for believe in sdr games or movies, this sound creature i had need to hear for believe it can give really 7.1 sound in stereo ears. only limitation is 50om impedance as everything higher will not get enough signal, and any forced tricks will distort the sound. so good enough with certain limit of the resistance phones. would be enough. if you use integrated for big speakers 7.1 as home theater or something it's not variant, as habit part of nature:) but if accidently you use only stereo with headphones, or even stereo in the speakers, both variants are much. good enough headphones will give incredible 7.1 for movies and games. stereo speakers will works as stereo i pretty sure not worse than integrated sound. again. this is only my experience, you can check info in the internet in many forums, video, with certain instructions. first firmwares was a glitchy, after upgrade it couple a years ago even no sneeze ever. so probably all fresh models must have 0 troubles. i divide this experience, because it's too good for take the info between my ears under related post.
