I changed from internal sound cards to an SB X4 and have no hesitation. The audio quality matches or improves based on the device, and it offers more convenience if you switch headphones or use a headset. For the X4, I’d only suggest it if you require surround sound (I did). There are plenty of other options for stereo needs, making it easier to find exactly what you want. If you’re just looking for stereo, the Sound Blaster G8 is a better choice than the X4.
