Hey all,

Can you recommend some good PCI sound cards? I think the X-Fi Platinum is perfect, it has everything I need, nothing more, but it doesn’t have linux drivers so poo on Creative.

I wouldn’t be using it for gaming, just audio playback and composition. Don’t need MIDI i/o either. But I’d really like a control bay thing like the X-Fi Platinum has, the one that sticks in the CD rom place and has controls and jacks, etc.

Thanks in advance!
