The audio on this MSI gaming is literally the same quality as the $300 formula. For example I use an Asus Formula VI which had a huge market for their superior audio design. The audio is superior than other integrated solutions I've heard. I've had zero issues with this motherboard and it worked flawlessly right out of the box with all the features. I think this board is better than the Asus hero at a lower cost.
I wanted a quality protect with a name brand I knew and this was perfect for the competitive price range. Pros: I purchased this recently to put together a build for someone else.
