Recommended budget soundcard?

suchamoneypit

I need a soundcard for my server for some speakers (regular Pc speakers). Im looking to spend as little as possible for an experience that won't be bad. I know nothing about sound quality or soundcards though. Any recommendations from people?

 

notice: Server motherboards do not have onboard audio. If it did, I would just use that!

use your motherboards on board sound. 

Ryzen 5 3600 stock | 2x16GB C13 3200MHz (AFR) | GTX 760 (Sold the VII)| ASUS Prime X570-P | 6TB WD Gold (128MB Cache, 2017)

Samsung 850 EVO 240 GB 

138 is a good number.

You don't need to buy a sound card if you're not using studio quality audio equipment.

As i said in my post, its for a server. server motherboards do not come with onboard audio or a plug in to use my case's connectors.

Beat me to it, I was just going to mention that your SM board doesn't have any.

 

Honestly, for just basic speakers, log onto amazon or newegg, search for a sound card in your budget and what you need, PCI or PCI-E and get it. Pretty much anything will sound ok with basic PC speakers.
