USB is for flash drives, printers, etc. Nothing good ever comes of using USB for sound or LAN OP, M-Audio makes good cards as does Asus (Xonar series). Just don't get anything from Creative. You would have more choice if you went PCI instead of PCIe, and PCIe doesn't really have any particular benefits for sound cards (unless you are building a small form-factor computer that only has PCIe slots or something). Actually, unless you are doing something special with audio (producing music or DJing or something), it really makes sense to go with the onboard sound chip. Via Envy24 chips are good, as are most that conform to the Intel HDA spec (including the very common Realtek chips that implement that spec (ALC88x and ALC1200)) .
