Sorry to disagree, but bluetooth packets are just data. There is no reason to convert the digital sound data created by software to analog voltages with a sound card, then convert the analog sound back to digital again to send it in packets to a bluetooth headset. From a technical point of view, your claim looks inconceivable. The digital to analog step is performed in the bluetooth headset.
An onboard sound chip is only needed to create onboard sound, for onboard sound devices (speakers or headset jack), like in the K5.
