Cam, after reading about the Xitel, you are not using an onboard soundcard, the Xitel bypasses them as it hooks up through USB ports. It is essentially an external soundcard, with only one function - output, and as far as I can tell only output on line level RCAs, opposed to other external soundcards which allow outputs in other forms as well as inputs. Most onboard sound cards have VERY poor frequency response, which is why many use after-market cards.
