Hi,

Consider an external USB device. They sound better than many internal
cards because inside a computer there ist a lot of EM radiation which
influences the sound quality. I bought a yamaha uw10 sound device for
70 Euro and it worked real plug and play and sounds excellent. It has
analogue chinch and optical digital in and out and nothing more.
