my onboard sound is of course nice and crackly, would one of those lovely £5 sound cards do anything to elleviate this or if anything, take away the sound from the hands of processer giving at least a little bit more oomph?

on board sound cards shouldn't be crackly...Unless you need all the bells and wishtles they are usually fine. If your getting crackles its likely to be your cables/amplifer/speakers. :wink:

Your motherboard has a Realtek ALC655 chipset which is supposedly better than the early sound chips.

I use a HDA Xplosion connected up to an Onkyo SR606 & some Tannoy's. Sounds great and the card can encode into DTS.
Not sure if you can still get it though...
