Default Help picking a non Creative Sound Card.

I want to pick up a sound card instead of using the onboard audio. I will be mainly using a set of Zalman Theatre 6 5.1 headphones. I do not want to get a Creative Card and the budget is around $80.00.

Then your probably looking at Auzen cards such as the X-Plosion or others brands.
THis card will allow you to chnage out opamps for improved sound quality over stock..Actually it is about $110, awsome card though. X-Plosion
