Taking a moment's reflection, Les Matthew mused:

I believe that's only with an integrated audio device (on the
motherboard), and isn't Doom 3 specific.


Is that true of all integrated audio, or are there good and bad ones?
I am browsing for an upgrade at the moment, and most motherboards have
audio now. Should I budget for soundcard as well, to avoid
performance problems?
