I can recommend Audigy 4 (which is 7.1), you can probably get a used
one rather cheap.
Or, another option, something Envy24/Envy24HT based.

But, if you lack PCI slots, it's going to be hard because it pretty
much limits your choice to Xonar.

I am willing to buy Xonar, question is, is it going to work properly? So far I can see it satisfies me, as long as it is not troublesome. I just want something that I can plug and play. I really don't mind wasting pcie slots, since i have couple of them available. And i dont plan to add any other devices to my pc so far.

That usb card appears to be quite interesting as well. I doubt it offers good hardware performance, doesnt it? I mean, it probably procees everything on cpu, than just outputs to usb card, using some standart USB sound driver? Like usb-audio.

Thanks, i appeciate your replies guys.


If you are willing to go USB, this card might do it:

It works, but only analog. Digital is not supported and probably won't
be. It's also very cheap, less than $20.
