Looking for good, cheap sound card

[Nil]

Can anyone suggest a good but inexpensive PCI sound card? I used to buy
lots of Ensoniq/Creative AudioPCI cards for $20 - $40, but now they are
scarce and used ones sell for as much as new ones did back in the day.

Would this fit the bill?:

Nil,

Here's another popular inexpensive option:

If you go this route hop over to the mfgr's website for drivers.

Thanks, Jeff and Dale. These are both good suggestions. I've never
heard of "Chaintech", but the price is right. And the Creative cards
are sort of the defacto standard, for better or words. I will be buying
some other stuff from Newegg soon, so one of these will probably go on
my list.

Thanks, again.

That's the one I would buy. Supposed to be very good sound quality for
music playback and very cheap. But I'm a gamer so it's not suitable
for my purposes.

Chaintech are best known for motherboards.They've made some excellent
overclockers boards.They've expanded to video and sound in the last couple
years.
