    I am seriously considering buying the Audigy 2 ZS for my i9300. Im sure I will notice an improvement in games and music. I had one quesiton though.. Can the built-in speakers be used WITH the Audigy 2 ZS?

    They do, but I'd highly recommend AGAINST using them. Your purchase will be somewhat a waste without good speakers or headphones (the latter being preferable).

    Even without a good pair of headphones, the difference is enormous, but you won't get 100% out of the card until you get nice headphones. :)
