Thanks a lot!
I'll check the available PCI(-e) sound cards out there. I found http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-Creative-Sound-Blaster-X-Fi-SB0790-PCI-E-7-1-S... which seems almost the same price as the "new" ones.

Hi,
I'm looking to buy a sound card, does anyone know if the Asus MIO-892 sound card works on linux?
Cheers, BogDan.
Yeah it does, but honestly you're wasting your money (its overpriced) if you buy that you might as well get a regular PCI-e card and stick it in the x4 as you'll be wasting an x16 PCI-e slot if you use asus's silly MIO stuff (you have to install it in slot 1 on the d8/d16) and no other boards have MIO so its stuck on one computer.
Its a crappy realtek chip, so it will work but it won't work well.
If I was you I'd get a used pci-e creative soundblaster x-fi, they have great linux support from the company and the sound is way better than the usual realtek or cmedia chips.
