Nope. Just what comes integrated. I don’t have extra money for that stuff. I don’t even have a desktop, and I am not sure if there are any good USB sound cards.
I admit that i’m pretty much an audiophile 🎵, but you really don’t need expensive equipment in order to have good audio. (My sound card is OLD)
But what i really hate is Realtek (you know the company with the blue crab 🦀 that makes audio & network chips and drivers?)
Well, their networking part is alright, but they literally destroyed the PC Audio industry.
I still remember fondly that my old desktop PC and laptop from 2004 both came with dedicated C-Media sound chips (they were low end, but still miles better than integrated audio).
Nowadays, you might find devices that come with Dolby, Beats or other certification or audio software, but they are just a patch solution for what was basically a downgrade in product quality.
But what sucks even more is that integrated audio meant a performance loss whenever sound was involved (from watching Youtube to videogames).
Sorry for the long comment, but i needed to get it out xD
If you have any questions about audio quality or sound cards feel free to ask ✌️
Since you mentioned sound cards, do you use one for gaming/audio production?
I own an X-Fi XtremeGamer myself. 🧐
