New Sound Card

[szskateman22]

Hey guys,

I'm making this really simple:

Sound card in my computer is going. I need a new one and recommendations. I have an amplifier (which accepts optical) out and mostly use that to run my headphones through - I have AKG K701 headphones which use a guitar-jack plug, thus why I use my amplifier.

Does anyone use a sound card still or am I the only one?

Thanks!
