Realtek ALC892 of that board is technically very low end sound chip.
Even budget/entry level Audigy Fx is step better.
Though if you're using some cheap multimedia speakers difference might not be noticeable.

Again if your using headphones for gaming, Audigy Fx has binaural sound simulation, which improves immersion lot over stereo sound.
