A little over a week ago, I connected some speakers to the PC. After I disconnected them, I notice that my earphones (not headphones) do not pick up any audio except the audio playing in Audacity.

Hello everyone. My pc has an ASUS Z170-AR Motherboard with the integrated realtek audio. At the moment this is what I am using. However, I have an ASUS XONAR DG sound card laying around from an old build. Should I use this in my PC or will it not make a difference?? Will i get clearer sound? I think the xonar has a built in headphone amp? I don't know much about the onboard audio.
