Some Gigabyte desktop +++ motherboards +++ and Asus +++ motherboards +++ have audiophile quality audio on the board. These audio circuits can even handle studio grade, 600 ohm, headsets.

There are also some add-on sound cards from established manufacturers like +++ Creative +++ +++ Labs +++ and +++ ASUS +++.

But with all that said, most folks will likely be better off with an audio interface. That way if they ever do decide to record they have that capability.
