I'm thinking of getting this card as well. My motherboards onboard sound won't play well with games. How do you guys have yours hooked up? Mines will be going to a 7.1 A/V receiver.

do any of the games that you play support 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound? and would i need a standalone sound card to send 7.1 surround sound to my onkyo receiver or could my onboard sound from my motherboard do it via optical?

The X-Fi handles the decoding of legacy codecs really well, but my receiver has more processing and room correction options.
