Greetings everyone.
 I'm a major fan of Digital Mode,  well right now the original Digital 
Mode "CW"  But I have seriously thought about doing the more elaborate 
digital modes like  RTTY, PSK, JT  etc. And now with N1MM running some 
recorded Voice messages on SSB.
Recently I finally after 12+ years got a new Computer, A DELL Inspirion 3847
Intel i5-4460  3.2Ghz
PCI slots
Typical sound system motherboard setup.
Except it's CRAP!!!!
 My old DELL 12+ years old I have hooked up to a awesome amplified 
speaker system, And it sounds incredible. If there is any distortion at 
all, I can't hear it. At any volume level. And with this speaker system 
I sometime crank it up a LOT and rattle the walls.
 I listen to all sorts of streaming audios too like from Radio Stations, 
and or like pandora etc.  and sounds pretty good.
BUT........  and there always is a BUT isn't there?
 This new computer sound it is terrible,  distortion? I'd say 50% 
Honestly I have vintage 60's 2 transistor radios that sound better than 
this computer does. At any volume level it is terrible.
 I had DELL work on it and everything it is just CRAP I don't dare use it 
to generate digital signals. Or recorded voice messages.
So thats what my question is here guys.
 Looking for recommendations for a good sound card for bot amateur radio 
as well as music too.
Suggestions?
