Do I need to buy gaming sound card to hear the footstep more clearly?

[BOT Casual]

hi guys, I just realize there is a hardware called sound card. How much difference between using a on-board audio and good quality soundcard?

I am using gaming headset btw, I know that it definitely will make a tremendous difference if you are using speaker but as for now I am good with the headset.

I wonder if i buy a good quality of a soundcard + I am using a headset can I hear the footstep more wide and clear?

I work in music and at home I use a Scarlett 2i4, Its great but just for more clarity in listening to music and games you may want to pick up a cheaper dac that doesnt have all the inputs the scarlett has since you don't need them like I do.

its true that some dacs can go into the realm of craziness with pricing, the one at the studio I use costs around $20000 which puts my scarlett to shame and my colleagues wonder why I play games more then actually do any work at home lol the stuff I make at home and take into the studio sounds completely different on such high end gear.

as for you OP, you should not need to spend more than $50 for a dac, skip getting a gaming soundcard, they are a gimmicky thing and so overpriced and not worth it, they are not a huge upgrade from onboard audio and an external dac is a bazillion times better than any gaming soundcard, just plug your headset into the dac, plug the dac into the pc and forget about the rest, its the best audio you will get for your needs.

$20000, that is insane! I mean, I only could see the point of purchase this machine due to the reason of that person is a d.j.

you can use $20000 to create a music, but after that the audiences are just going to use normal setup to listen the music.

$20000, i'd rather upgrade my pc xD

My sound card died ages ago and I never replaced, because I never noticed the difference. I use ear buds for gaming to get a nice immersive sound effect. My GPU is directly feeds into my TV due HDMI.

I was thinking about buying a gaming ear buds as well, the only one people would suggest me is the razer. I forgot the name but you will find it easily on the website. Not much people are using gaming earbuds may be some people couldn't get used to the way you will need to stick in to your ear, some people like me find it not comfort at all.

Personally, I have never tried gaming earphones before so I couldn't tell whether it contains any kind of differences.

Onboard audio works perfectly fine for me.

Maybe you just need a better headset?

ya, currently I am using a gaming headset cost around $80+, Omen 800. this headset is pretty good, but its not that popular, I mean look at the pros who most likely prefer to use hyperX brand.
Omen 800 can hear the footstep clearly, but I think that there's someway to enhance the audio system. (I have tried to mess around with the audio enhance such as bass and stuff.)

If its on usb, the usb dongle "soundcard" is inferior to many after market solutions. Put it this way, real usb dac/soundcards cost as much and usually more than your entire headset. It matters when driving full sized headphones.

Why would "gaming" have better sound quality than audiophile headphones?

oh my, that's cost a lot tho, If the performance of my Logitech headset which I believe it will arrive tomorrow is same as my Omen 800, i might just buy another sound card. can't really make a decision as the price of the sound card is beyond my expectations.

I compare the game like cs 1.6 with csgo haha, I guess the modern games from 2012 can't just simply use the mobile earphone anymore. I mean, if i use mobile earphone in pubg, I couldn't hear anything at all except the gun shots. as for csgo, I can hear the footstep, but I couldn't precisely figure where the enemy is even I hear the footstep.
