I'd rather it not even be there personally. Onboard sound would add useless ports to the back of my setup. I REALLY wish this whole onboard audio trend would have never started. You can barely find a board now without onboard audio. The majority of people seem to use their own cards, so it don't seem logically to increase cost by adding the audio. I can see having it on the integrated solution microATX boards, but not all of them.
