Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

The sound quality of the realtek chips can be very differrent from one mainboard to another.
It all depends on how well implemented it has been by the manufacturer.
A well implemented ALC850 can sound comparable to a SB Live5.1.
Which really is'nt saying much. ;)
IMHO it depends on the motherboard manufacturers implementation.
The realtek alc650 is certainly capable of sounding better than SBLive.
I had both installed on Asus a7n8x the ac97 chip sounded better. On the other hand
my present motherboard is a MSI k8n the realtek alc850 sounds terrible...
Sennheiser make just what you are looking for m@m 40.

I have 1 of those in my collection of obsolete sound cards.
SB16
SB64
SB Live 5.1
TB santa cruz.
AC97 is really not that bad it depends on the board makers implementation. The 1 on my MSI nf3 board sux its terrible. But I until recently had a ASUS nf2 (not soundstorm) and the onboard...
Thats exactly what I do in linux.
I run the TB santaCruz into line in of revo 7.1, Then the revo outputs to my pimeta and onto my headphones.
I only do this for quake3 based games since they do not support alsa drivers. Revo is unable to use oss compatability due to a mmap issue.
I am hoping...
