Hi
If your internal sound-card supports High Definition Audio and AC '97 audio there is no need for something else (according to your demands you report above).
There are a lot of good sound cards out there and you can easily find a linux compatible one !
But , this equipment is rather expensive and sometimes really very expensive because, it is intended for users who want to make music with it.
I am a music maker too and I use a good (extra) sound card for this purpose !
Unfortunately I bought it 7-8 years ago , when I was a windows xp user and I use it exclusively with win xp. It is not Linux compatible.
Anyway , the point here is that , when I make music I really need the expensive card !!!
When I simply listen to the music ... I don't need it at all !!
There is not any quality difference to my ears between my internal Intel sound card and the extra pro one ....
Best Regards !
