Hi Sunny
Onboard sound cards are usually adequate for 'adequate' quality but not too snappy for quality voice recordings.
I use Creative Live!5.1 which is OK for me .I also use Cakewalk and Sound Forge.
Incidentally, onboard (motherboard, that is)features are often adequate for other applications but need to be upgraded for more acceptable quality.
For example, I am about to discontinue using my onboard graphics and wondering what to go to. But that should be another thread!!!
cheers
