Onboard sound is way better than it was 15 years ago, can clearly hear the difference on everyday speakers.
I have an old Xonar card I don't use anymore because the audio quality is indistinguishable from onboard sound despite using Audioengine speakers, at least to my ears. The onboard sound has better mic support, sound settings, and port input/output customization that the Xonar lacks. I don't use the stock Win 10 driver, it doesn't have any of those features and you need the latest audio driver from your mobo maker to unlock them.
