    Best Soundcard For Broadcasters

    I have been looking for a soundcard recently under $50 that can handle good quality audio output(music) and also a line input for my main mix. I use USB soundcards for Skype and they seem to do the trick. So does anyone have any suggestions?

    USB: Behringer UCA-202 is $30
    PCI: M-Audio Audiophile 2496 is $69 but it's worth the extra money.
    PCIe: No clue

    I buy Delta 1010LT 5-channel sound cards for less than $100 each used on eBay. They make life SO much easier.
    Please direct all questions for me to the forum so that all can benefit.

    I would suggest all of the above also. But i am wondering what would be considered the best PCI-E soundcard currently. I have a creative X-FI card but wouldn't say its the best. A lot of driver issues in the past.

    Mike what do you think about on board soundcards? Do you think I should get a new card?

    It depends on what you want. Some people are happy with onboard sound cards. Not all sound cards are created equal.

    Mike it right. It really depends on what motherboard you have. Some on board soundcards are good enough. Others.. well not so much

    All the good card that caught my attention seem to be out of stock.
