Greetings,
Title says it all. My onboard sound card seems to be dying, hear more and more crackle and I tried 3 headsets, all had exactly some problem, so it has to be sound card troubles.
 
Right now I have 150 bucks in my pocket, but I would be happy if I had most of it left because this money should last me a while on "personal" purchases. So my question is what soundcard to get? I was recommended Creative Z multiple times, but wanted to make sure its the best choice for me.

Honestly if you are on a tight budget then even a sub $50 asus dg does the job decently.
