This is a decent some would say 'very decent entry level mobo' but I'd doubt VERY MUCH that you would need to add any soundcard.

Loads of folks online say that soundcards are a myth, you should go read about pros and cons of soundcards ?

Nah they definitely exist, without them a PC just goes beep.

Apologies I can't help OP with his question, I don't really have any experience of multichannel PC sound cards.
