If you are "somehow" downloading DVD quality movies complete with 5.1 audio, and want to hear that 5.1 audio, then you need to determine where you want to spend your money; is it better to buy that $200 sound card, or just put a $40 DVD player along with your 5.1 audio system and burn movies to DVD. The advantage to burning them on the spot is you can also free up a lot of hard drive space by not keeping 4 GB files kicking around.

Definitely not my #1 issue, but a plus.
I actually have a blu-ray player for watching most movies but my pc is part of my living room set-up. When I have UFC parties here, everybody likes to play stuff on youtube or whatever and I put it through the TV. I definitely don't need quality sound for that but I do listen to all my music this way.
If I won't notice a big difference in sound quality for music (which seems to be the consensus) it is probably pointless.
