The Sennheiser GAME ONE headset is not high-end, nor measured in a hi-fi rating, so the board is perfectly fine. Audio quality from motherboards are really good nowadays. You'll need a really high-end hifi set of cans to even notice the difference, and it does also depend on how good your...

1. If you mean "turn off or modify wireless settings", then some companies like Asus has a mobile app. This only works if you're connected within the network. 2. If you mean "power off the device", then you can hook it up to a smart home plug and use their app to cut power to the plug using your...

1. Change capital to capital[50] (or whatever length). 2. You can't compare strings with ==. Use strcmp(). 3. There's no need for the second if. Use else.

The motherboard audio is pretty good nowadays. It will definitely be fine for your headphones. Buy the headphones first, and try them out. If you notice the sound quality difference, then you can invest in a sound card afterward. It takes a good pair of headphones and pretty good hearing to pick...

More RAM is more of a necessity than better grade CPU for that. If you have a lot of tabs in Chrome, it's very easy for it to go through 4GB of RAM.

Does not matter. It doesn't depend on the motherboard. Please make sure your case can fit the new power supply before purchase.

Sound quality is better with a sound card but you don't need one. You can always buy a sound card later. :)

If you have a good soundstage, that alone is good enough for music and FPS gaming. You don't actually need virtual surround. Of course, virtual surround would be terrible if the soundstage is terrible.

Depends on your priority. FPS games, sound card definitely because most budget external DAC won't handle player locations very well in FPS games in terms of depth and how close the footprints are. Music and movies, external DAC is better. You can definitely get a sound card. The one that I...
