Toshiba don't appear to agree with your first sentence if the quality of the audio device fitted to my Satellite Pro laptop is anything to go by. This is the worst sounding audio I've ever heard from a computer (roughly cassette quality) and it even has the harman/kardon logo on it!

The thing is, the cards in the link are all specialist gaming soundcards which perform far better than the audio devices fitted to the average laptop or computer mainboard. Turtle Beach have a very good reputation and their budget cards are nothing like those fitted as standard to a typical computer. Their Multisound Card was the first computer audio device I owned back in 1992 and it was still sounding good when I last tried it a couple of years ago.
