Looking for a quality sound card.

[Luke has no name]

I game a lot, and I want a good sound card for Windows.

I ALSO use Ubuntu whenever I'm not gaming, so I want something that will output clearly and correctly there, as well.

Suggestions? If X-Fi works, that'd be great.

I have a X-fi in my rig. It works out of the box on 9.10. A X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Pro Series to be exactly.

Also had a Audigy 2 Platinium Extern, works also great.
