So i have heard mention of the ability to get positional audio and eax going with openal for onboard sound but I haven't figured out how to actually install openal.

Sound problems caused by EAX? | Forums
https://forums.ubisoft.com/showthread.php/314401-Sound-problems-caused-by-EAX-Forums
It seems that Assassin's Creed for the PC uses EAX version 4 for special sound effects. A lot of sound cards (especially the onboard devices, such as Realtek's) do not support this version of EAX. I suspect that this incompatibility is what is causing many of the sound problems reported in this forum.

Your onboard sound supports Intel's HDA (high-definition audio) spec, not EAX HD. At the moment, no sound hardware outside of Creative's line of soundcards supports EAX HD (EAX3/4/5). Ultraq , Feb 21, 2007

Onboard or dedicated sound card - Audio - Linus Tech Tips

24-bit sound, EAX support, special hardware support for certain audio codecs. I kind of would lean towards the dedicated just to have the EAX compatibility since that's proprietary last time I looked. However, if the onboard has a better quality chip and the build quality isn't terrible, it may sound better.
Audio APIs and EAX - Development (concluded ...
https://community.pcgamingwiki.com/topic/980-audio-apis-and-eax/
FMOD is an audio API that primarily does audio on the CPU but can access EAX features and offload to audio hardware. Some examples of FMOD using EAX would be Cryostasis and the first BioShock. You may notice that both of those games mention OpenAL. What is likely happening is that FMOD is leveraging OpenAL to access EAX 4/5 features.

the Audigy 2 will offer a number of advantages over your onboard audio: - EAX support for EAX 3 and 4 - DDL encoding for 5.1 output (it can do 6.1, but not via DDL) - reduced issue of EMI/RFI (if you have no problem with this with the onboard, strike this point) - more inputs/better inputs (very likely to have a better mic preamp/in, as an example)
