Given you have am amd64 based machine, I'm pretty surprised at the noise. |
| 11 |
What else is on the PCI bus? |

As to cards, it doesn't need to be amd64 specific, if alsa supports it, they |
| 14 |
will work. For decent sound most cards with an envy24 controller and 24-bit |
| 15 |
DACs are pretty good. You;ll use more cpu to run them, but nothing significant. |
| 16 |
One card is M-Audio's Revolution 7.1. |

Another I like to run the Headroom's Bitwise headphone amp. It hooks up via USB. |
| 19 |
While the DAC is only 16-bit, it does a really grest job. Plus it's outside the box. |

Beware USB attached sound cards, while some work, many require firmware downloads |
| 22 |
to function. |
