Sound Cards in CoD4 and other FPS

Hi guys,

Over a year ago I started with my "new" Quad and X1900 XT and I used onboard sound.
i played CoD4 with it for several weeks, and then decided to pull my finger out and install my Revolution 7.1 M-Audio card.

I actually installed it for an IL-2 night we had not long ago, because I can hear Bf109's with it, and by moving my listening position in the cockpit I can tell whether aplane is above or below me...it takes practice but it's not hard.

It also transformed CoD4, and I shouldn't be suprised, but I was....again...by how good real gaming audio can be. This is is Headphone mode, NOT surround. I have some Medusa 5.1 Headphones, and I love them, but I still always default back to good stereo imaging.

Does anyone here play CoD4 or another fps with onboard sound?
