A long anser for such short question ;) I also have an onboard soundcard and true, the sound isn't great. I'm looking for a soundcard that will give me perfect sound, cause the wife wants it to be as good as the cd-player.
Looking at the different card from creative I see a 'big' one and a cheap one. Which of the two would you recommend? Biggie: X-Fi XtremeMusic (http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=208&pro duct=14066) Cheap : Audigy SE (http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=1&subcategory=205&pro duct=14257) Are there other people who have an creative card, who like to share there experience?

I have an onboard via 82xxx or something to that effect, but you should find that any cheap £3 sound card will work well in linux. I think the point about sound cards is get the features you need, and a chip/card that is supported. Good manufacturers of sound cards, well there is only one creative labs. The rest are pretty much all clones or cheap chips. Some cards however will only do 48Khz, which I have found causes some problems with OSS emulation, choppy sound as an example. That issue can generally be worked around using a module parameter. However cards like this (mine being one of them, but its onboard) should be avoided if possible. I would recommend that you get a creative labs card, one which supports SPDIF optical/coaxial out and has 7.1 channels. This gives you as much range as you will probably ever need, personally I'd like a usb device with multiple sound inputs and creative make one of those too which also works in linux. I wouldn't pay over the odds for a good sound card though, budget yourself sensibly on this, as its not really the most important piece of hardware in your system.
