Cheap Sound Card?

[mamamia88]

I have an old dell with a hissing built in sound card. I have 2 pci slots and a mini pcie slot leftover. Any recommendations for something cheap? Don't really care about sound quality just want to get rid of the hiss

ASUSTeK Computer, Inc., had produced some now-discontinued audio cards that are specifically built anti-hiss: the XONAR® Essence™ ST™ (PCI 2.x), XONAR® Essence™ STX™ (PCIe 1.0 x1), and XONAR® Xense® (PCIe 1.0 x1). All have integrated RFI shielding and are built around a modified C-Media® CMI-8788 DSP chip; and both the ST and STX have plug-in dual operational amplifiers for Left I-V, Right I-V, and Line-Output Buffer. With ALSA 1.0.24 or later, use the Driver snd-virtuoso, which has specific tweaks to support the XONAR relay controls compared to snd-oxygen.
