Games are more than just an interactive visual experience. The time and effort that developers spend in creating and incorporating immersive audio and soundtracks are not experienced to their fullest with just standard PC hardware. That's where sound cards come in, as they are an easy way to improve the audio coming to your speakers or headphones. Third-party sound cards not only enhance the fidelity of the sound but also deepen the base and create better surround-sound effects when playing.
