Downvote for @8-Bit Ninja. Soundcards are awesome, and it sounds like he can make use of them. (I think DAC's clutter up the desk)

 

At topic starter, I get the feeling you are running older hardware, considering it has to be pci. I've used up to last year an Creative Live! 5.1 soundcard. It did everything what I required of it, and it was way better then a cheap (sweex?) USB "soundcard". Bought it at a flea market for twofidi used.

I'm a bit lost here...why not just have your new sound card handle everything?

 

I'm not even sure you can two audio devices running split tasks like that at the same time...

 

But yeah, I'd say just stick to motherboard audio unless you need more ports.
