I have a HT-Omega standard PCI sound card, and was wondering if having another sound card like this one would cause any coflicts.

Yes, you would have issues, if your using win 7,8 it's possible to install the device manually and set systems resources accordingly

You should to install a pci sound card 7.1 . This motherboard not include 7.1 ports

I haven't had that problem. Sounds like your PC sound card and the head phone have conflicting drivers

No. However the "ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 Audio Engine Sound Card" will since it is a PCI-E x1 sound card (which is compatible in a pci-e x4 slot).It is basically the same card but for the newer form factor PCI-E. (link: ASUS Xonar DGX PCI-E GX2.5 Audio Engine Sound Cards )

Yes. Your computer will detect it as an external audio device and use it instead of the on-board sound card. I use mine as a second soundcard, I am a DJ and I need two soundcards operating at the same time to mix two beats.

yes, 3 way + sound card , but the sound card should be in the first PCI port of the Motherboard

Yes. I started with windows XP for testing and initial set up. If you are using a video card that has HDMI out put, install the mother board audio after the video card drivers are installed. This is nessessary because the video audio drivers will take out the mother board sound. Other than that no problems

Not necessarily. Depends on your mother board. If you 4 outlets for sound on your motherboard that's all you need. The sound card is built into the actual volume unit with the head set.best head set I've ever had and plainly beat my turtle beach px5 s.

From what I found googling the question, yes it should. If the drivers on the CD you get with the card don't work, you may have to download the latest drivers for the card.http://us.store.creative.com/Creative-Sound-Blaster-Audigy-SE-PCI/M/B000LP0R3E.htm

Yes, but you are really wasting the potential of this card by using it with simple desktop speakers like that. This card is intended for 7.1 surround through either standard stereo jacks or optical audio/SPDIF. If your motherboard has on board sound I would simply use that. Better yet invest in a surround system Logitech Surround Sound Speakers Z506 or something similar and unlock it's full potential.

Yes it does pass audio. You just have to make sure that it's selected in your playback options in sounds. Now it will just pass motherboard audio. It's not going to pass audio from your Soundblaster card if you have one installed. Actually come to think of it, I think the card has it's own audio device built in. Because the audio shows up as AMD audio when you check the playback options.

I recently purchased two different ASUS mother boards. Either one fits the description of your board. Bothboards have the main chipset with 8 channel high def audio. I am not aware of any recent boards using audioon a card; however, you can add a sound card if you prefer to any system wether it has built in audio or not.

You don't have to buy a sound card to have them sound good but if your motherboard doesn't have on board 7.1 sound on it then it's best you get a sound card. I'm using my on board 7.1 and didn't buy a sound card and they sound great to me but could be better with a sound card. Getting a sound card isn't a bad investment for your computer though if you don't have one

No. This motherboard doesn't need a sound card. Why pay so much if it didn't have quality sound lol

The smaller board is the daughter board and isn't required to use the sound card, i don't have it installed in mine. I THINK its intended more for recording audio, so if you don't intend to do that, then there likely isn't much point in having it installed.

Well the new Haswell motherboards come with PCI slots still. I can't say whether or not they're dying or anything, but a lot of audio cards still use PCI. Even brand new ones.

You have to disable the sound card on your motherboard in the BIOS first, uninstall the v card whatever that is and then install the new card. You should then check in System in Control Panel if you are running Windows that the ASUS card is listed there after the install. No other sound card should be installed other than the ASUS, they all have to be uninstalled. It is a great sound card by the way.
