I think you'd have a bad experience. > I find sound cards built around VIA's Envy24HT and CMedia's 8738 to work I second Steve's advice: the CMedia PCI cards are fine -- my really cheap one (equivalent of $10) had no S/PDIF output fitted, but I fitted it myself after looking at the device datasheet for the right pin, and it works great. If you're using S/PDIF then even the most expensive card will sound exactly the same since it is all digital. It will either work 100% or not at all, its not like there will be little noises and signal-to-noise bakeoffs.
