BTW, does anyone have any comments on the Chaintech AV-710 (or any of the Envy24 boards for that matter)? It's like $23 and I've seen a lot of good things about it.

It's high quality, very clear sound. In my experience though it doesn't offer as much bass as creative cards when I tested with my headphones on a friends pc. it has an optical output that you can configure for bit perfect digital to connect to a receiver if you want that.
