Comment on Ask HN: Is onboard audio still good enough compared to dedicated Sound Cards?parent

Comments

if 128kbps MP3s sound OK to you then congrats your audio needs are effectively non-existent, anything will do (and I do not say that disparagingly; it's _fine_).

Ignorance is bliss. I'm extremely happy I've never learned to notice higher or lower quality audio. The last time I've had to research at all about audio hardware was when I was trying to find a card which supported EAX for games back in the early 2000s. Since then it's been all onboard audio all the time, with the only exception being my wireless headset's USB dongle. It's great!
