Default Unreal!!!
WOW, I just upgraded from onboard to a Soundblaster Audigy SE card I picked up from Circuit city (same price as newegg and I could get it today). The difference is amazing. Had I known that it would make this much of a difference, I would have done this way sooner!

The best way to explain the difference is like going from listening to tapes to CD's.

Probably one of the best sub $35 mods hands down period. If anyone doesn't have an audio card, get one NOW.

PS; works out of the box with Mandriva One 2007.1 without having to configure anything.
