Because the built in sound-cards have become so good that there is no point having a pro-sumer market for them.
If you want a kick-ass sound from your computer, go to Long & McQuade and get an "Audio Interface" even if you never use it to record. The algorithms and D/A converters are far superior to any built-in card, and movies and music will simply "sound better." Also, it would then be worth it to purchase serious kick-ass speakers and amp. You would be able to hear a huge difference.
Also, everything would be 1/4" and RCA. No stereo-mini.
