Official Fulqrum Publishing forum - SOW - sound card solutions with 2 graphics cards

I currently have an M-Audio audiophile soundcard, which sounds quite nice to me, but prevents me using 2 graphics cards.

So do we expect SoW to be as good with onboard sound as with a graphics card, or are many of us stuck with 1 graphics card?

I have searched this forum for answers, and some think the on board graphics have come a long way, and you don't need a soundcard for games, while others have found that a graphics card gives much better sound with IL2. But Oleg has said that it's going to be different for SoW than it was for IL2:

And it will run undependant of sound car type. Sound engine of Il-2 was developed for high eng cards. And only using such card user was able to get all effects of realistic 3D sound. That is good but not for masses.

So on board sound should be ok for SoW, but Oleg didn't explicitly say that there would be no extra benefit in using a separate sound card.

Has Oleg given further information in any of the release updates, or can anyone give any further insite, as I'm sure there are a few of us that have to choose between a soundcard or second graphics card.

Thanks
