perhaps, at least a lot more sound cards have digital outs now. mine does and it is integrated into the mb. which im sure is probably why i get a little lag sometimes when listening to mp3s and while doing whatever else i may be doing on the computer. but the integrated sc is better than the other one i have, and i dont critically listen via this comp, so screw it, im getting a sc till this integrated one breaks.
