GNU/Linux soundcard recommendations

First I will say that I really only use GNU/Linux and not windows, mainly for development purposes. I had an Audigy 2 ZS for a long number of years, but it recently died do to static discharge from my body, though my headphones into the card.

I wanted something better, tried out a moderately price Dac and was unimpressed with its sound quality compared to my onboard sound.

I want something better than my Audigy, but reasonably price. I only use headphones, rarely use speakers if ever.


It must work in Alsa. So please, if you have any recommendation by all means post them.
 
Here is the complete support list from the alsa website for the latest version
I've always had good experiences with alsa/oss and creative products over the years in linux 🙂

I have no idea what Alsa is, but I do know that Turtle Beach cards tend to have good linux support if you know where to find drivers. I have a Voyetra card and not only does it sound great, but my Suse LiveDVD picks it up every time and works without issue.
