Presently I'm using my motherboard's sound drivers. I do have an older Audigy SE that I can put into the computer I took it out because it was causing problems of not shutting down completely. My question is do you think I would gain any framerates in FSX but installing the Audigy soundcard.

Hi; Not sure what kind of troubles you had with the sound card butswitching from onboard sound sure improved my results with fs9.

On-board soundcards are not recommended. You are better off with a cheap dedicated soundcard, because they buffer the sounds better and have better DACs, thus relieving the CPU.Good luck!Pat

I bought a new soundcard for $22 because the mike stopped working in the onboard one. I am using both-one for mike and one for sound-not sure if that helps performance or not though.http://mywebpages.comcast.net/geofa/pages/rxp-pilot.jpg
