    Am looking to upgrade sound by buying a sound card. The speakers on this model are **** and I want to upgrade to best sound possible via headset but still be mobile.

    Any suggestions on which brand/model will work well with the 8204. I am not sure creative makes a model compatable with this unit.

    cross post....
    I just upgraded to the latest audio drivers from realtek 5.10.00.5233..YEEHAWWW!! This is much better. Very nice via earbuds with more bass sound. PLenty Loud for me! also the speakers are quite listenable now..I think I will save my money and stick with the built in audio while I keeping playing with this wonderful machine
