I'm using a SoundBlaster Live!. I carried it over from my previous
motherboard (Asus A7V-266, had no onboard anything) to this one (Asus
A7V-333, has onboard sound) because it'll play multiple sounds
simultaneously, and the built-in one won't without a driver "faking it". I
use a bog-standard ALSA setup. The card also has jacks for line-in and
mic-in which _don't_ get repurposed as output jacks should I get more than
two speakers.
Don't remember how much it cost, but >$100 would've put me off, so it
probably wasn't that much.
