A cheap PCI sound card is the same crap that they put on the mainboard,
except that it also takes a PCI slot.

Get a DECENT soundcard (which means NO CREATIVE JUNK!)

Why no Creative?
- Their drivers are garbage, large and don't work well.
- The cards don't conform to PCI specifications.
- Support is awful.
