I bought a new mobod from gigabyte.
GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD4-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Audio ChipsetRealtek ALC889Audio Channels8 ChannelsI have a sound card already from HT Omega Claro 7.1 I venture to guess that the Omega is a better route than the onboard? Anyone care to comment?

my guess would be the omega card ,looks better in the picture anyway.lol

onboard sound has gotten better over the years but there are many add-in cards that are far superior to onboard

More often than not a dedicated sound card is a better choice than whatever is already built onto the motherboard for sound.
