Onboard audio isn't cutting it.

Well, it took me a while to admit that the onboard audio on my mATX board just isn't cutting it.

I have two questions:

1) If I install a PCI soundcard, can that soundcard still access the front headphone jacks in my chassis, and...
2) What's a good PCI soundcard for someone on a budget that just wants clear audio out of a pair of headphones without it sounding tinny or distorted?
 
Well the front panel ports will still work if you attatch them to the pci soundcard.
As far as what soundcard to get... well that is the question really. I suppose it depends on if you use it to watch DVD's, play games, or listen to music.

I'm sure most people will say the X-Fi for games
or the EMU404, Juli@ or similar for music...

Chaintech AV710 for budget.

I'll let someone else give you sugjestions for that.
