@NV: Well, sometimes, when scrolling a page in firefox, I can hear faint static in my headphones. When playing games or watching videos, this isn't a problem, as the sound from whatever I'm doing completely covers the static (in fact, I have no reliable way of knowing if it even is there at all - I can only assume).
My setup is... messy to say the least, and definitely not good for sound quality. =P It might be part of the problem now that I think of it. Basically, I have an audio cable going from my mobo's sound output into my monitor, which has in-built speakers; and then I have my headphones plugged into my monitor's sound output, which makes it easy to unplug them when needed without having to get behind my PC (and without wires trailing from my front panel). Sometimes, I want to use a different pair of headphones, which I then plug into the front panel.
If I do get that card, as I probably will, I'm most likely gonna change that.
