I think you should check Strix Soar because it's newer model than Phoebus, price are similar.
Strix Soar is not expensive card and many people don't even need STRIX RAIDs... SOAR is enough and worth investment if people pay hundreds more for graphic cards.
You will notice difference even if you had best onboard as SupremeFX only if speakers are not pure junk.
STRIX SOAR have WHQL Driver for Windows 7 and Windows 10.
I have CREATIVE but never mind, my driver is from 2012, from CD...
and I didn't installed last from 2014 because this driver work and if work why to change him just like that.
For STRIX is driver from 2016 and could work next 5 years. What you expect sound improvement?
If some new hardware show up and ASUS notice that STRIX not work on some ROG or other motherboard they will launch driver.

I don't know I had some problem with SBZ before 2-3 days... I thought card die because sound was weird suddenly.
But after removing sound card, cleaning from dust little, reamoving and cleaning shield and card with alcohol and reinstall driver again everything was fine.
I was ready to start to try STRIX SOAR. 🙂
It's available to me for only 85 euro.
If my die in near future I will buy STRIX SOAR. Somehow is more attractive to me if motherboard and sound card are same manufacturer.
I don't know how people could forget to install some little better sound card. They show up very rear, once in 4-5 years.
My SBZ is almost 5 years old and still could be looked as one of newer sound card models. Nice sound card could be bought under 100$...
Only card without additional volume control. If someone have similar with speakers don't need with sound card.
One sound card could be used 7-8 years before new standards and OS show up and support completely stop.
There are good cards from PCI period and only is connector problem and really every gamer should buy some 100$ model.
