I've got an MSI Gaming 5 mobo that comes with a Realtek ALC1150 chip and Sound Blaster Cinema II software, however the Gigabyte Gaming 5 mobo has the same ALC1150 but comes with Sound Blaster X-Fi MB3 software, which looks like it could be better, Sniper function etc
Reckon it'd work? Is the Sound Blaster a pure software solution, or is there a custom chip on each mobo?
I know I could just try, but I'm at work at the mo at just wanted to make sure no one has tried it and created a black-hole that ate their living room. Or something.
