Nothing really wrong with it but I've heard that you can get better quality from a sound card.

No sound card that is sub $100 is worth it. Pro tip.

On-board mobo sound is decent. What mobo do you have?

What do the more expensive ones have that the cheaper ones don't?

Unless you're some sort of audiophile or sound professional, you really do not need a sound card.
