What's a good soundcard for the maxius ranger?

Folks
so I am finally plucking up the courage to do something about sound
Its my bottleneck ( if that's the right word ) .. always too low
that's games/youtube/TV etc
have same isssue with notebooks
the onboard sound is lets agree never very good on either.

so I have some spare PCIE slots
no idea what to buy ?

ooh am using HDMI which carries sound and vision
adding a sound card would interfere with that ?

Hello volts240@live.co.uk

You could use a dvi cable to connect to your monitor and use a pcie sound card.

I used to always buy a sound card for a rig but not current one, really don't see the point, perhaps I can't hear the difference! LOL

Found no issues in general use or gaming that would want me to get a card.

Recently my headphones are connected to my monitor which get's audio feed via DP from a 290X and couldn't really hear any loss of sound quality.
