Do you need a special sound card? Would an onboard sound card work for this?

Any soundcard with midi input (about of 99.9% of the soundcards in the market)... Moreover, you don't even need a soundcard with MIDI input, since you can purchase a MIDI to USB converter (extremely cheap piece of gear), and plug it directly to the USB-IN of your PC/notebook. If your soundcard doesn't have ASIO drivers, which is common (in mac the drivers are different), you download the ASIO4ALL drivers, which will work teaming with any soundcard at all, and are free, BTW.

NO This item can replace the built-in sound card and/or adds the usb sound device. You may have to go to control panel and select the USB audio device as the default.

I used an external DAC. You could also likely use an external sound card as well. It cost about $125 I think. I've been very pleased.

Sorry.Shouldn't need a sound card. Depending on your system config. What OS are you running?

If your computer does not have 5.1 surround capability then yes you will need to get a card. Check your motherboard or computers manual.

Hi, This computer has a sound card, but you will need to plug in speakers or headphones. Give us a call if any other questions at 844-889-1070. Sincerely, Re-Circuit

Yes, absolutely. This is what I use it for also. I believe without a dedicated soundboard this is a common problem and this is any easy fix.

If you want sound, you need a sound card. Speakers alone will not work. Check this out about how sound cards work: http://computer.howstuffworks.com/sound-card.htm

It's a PCI sound card. You're motherboard may not have one depending on its make and age. Try finding your motherboard online to determine if its compatible.

It does not have a discrete sound card. It does come with integrated audio and audio ports built into the motherboard.

Yes, a GOOD sound card will fix the problem. I have been using sound blaster since it first came out

I have not tried it with that system. I have got it to work with just about anything. It's a VERY simplistic setup. Just need access to sound outputs.

Agree with other folks who posted; get a headphone amp or maybe a USB DAC to take on the work of sound processing from the integrated sound card. Though they have gotten better integrated sound cards suck compared to a dedicated card or device. I was looking at picking up Audioengine D1 24-bit Digital-to-Analog Converter for my PC; so that I can connect my monitors and also use the head phone jack for these PC350 or my HD 600s.

The onboard sound will work with that headset yes, but in almost every situation I'd recommend using a third party PCI-E card for sound if quality is your concern.

I have not tried that so I do not know for sure. But if that is your main use for the soundcard, you'd better off with Asus Xonar U3 as the internal DAC of this card is not used then.
