Thanks for your help but I can't afford to buy ANYTHING right now which is why I came to the forum for advice on how to FIX the problem. I can't be the only person experiencing audio dropouts from the Realtek driver so I thought someone here would have a fix(remove the XXXX driver file, uncheck the xxxx button, etc.). I guess I'll try the ASUS forum since my motherboard is from them. Try to remember in the future that BUYING a new this or that, has probably ALREADY occurred to a person seeking help and OBVIOUSLY wasn't an option. 

Wow-very classy reply-These folks were only trying to help you. Please READ yor title-You asked if a sound card would help. So if you knew you couldn;'t buy one, why then did you ask. So chill out man

Have you bothered to read this entire thread before posting?

Yes I did until this post by the OP: Below is the last line in his early post. Thats what I replied to and I stand by it. IMHO that's snide classless remark.

How is it snide and classless?  I don't get that. 
 
You've still missed the point, in your eagerness for the put down, that he wasn't ever asking about buying a new card but whether he'd get any further with a SoundBlaster he already had over the onboard chip.
 
By all means carry on with your lessons in how to express real class though, there must be something there I haven't grasped yet.

...the reason is you´re trying to drive an Porsche with an "Beetle" Engine on an racetrack, by wondering: "Mhmm 60mph is´nt really fast is´nt it ???"
...mind the problem...???
The problems with dropouts with the so called "onboard" soundchips could cause by so many problems with your system configuration, software and driver problems, that we´re still post new "how to fix"´s until new years eve...
And when 100$ are a point of "to expensive for the moment"....try to get a 15$ card with PCIe...I´m sure this card will solve your drop-out problems.

realtek still shouldn't have those severe dropout problems though.  i'm doing a sample project right now with 24 stereo audio tracks running 12 instances of guitar rig 4 and several prochannel modules and when i decide to twaddle away at it out of the house at a cafe or something (i don't like hauling my ftu around with me except for live stuff)   the realtek holds up ok even though the latency needs to be set a bit high.  and this is on an 4(?) year old athlon II M300 processor with a passmark rating of 1186.  go figure.

Besides the obvious problems with an on board sound chip its also noisy. I also have one on my system and its fine for Media Player its not good enough for work. It shouldn't be for you either. I wont continue to tell you its crap because that has been well said already. But you are not getting good audio out of it even if it will work. So why bother?

You need to listen to it using good headphones but they probably wont connect to it anyway and see how noisy it really is.

yeah it's a bit noisy (not talking pops and clicks either those are resolved with dropout settings and latency adjustments)...  some low-freq roll off as well.  nothing spectacular though. maybe i just got a decent one. the only problems i ever seem to get with it is when i'm automating eq settings for frequency sweeps and such and sometimes the guitar rig automation throws it for a loop for whatever reason but for being able to get quick ideas out while on a bus it can and should hold up - there shouldn't be any issues like he is experiencing.  

YOu need a "real"interface or soundcard made for multitrack recording.  Realtek is basically a toy that is a step above a very standard soundcard.  X2 is professional.  Realtek will never handle the audio load from Sonar.
