Sound Card Upgrade

I have a built in Sound Card; which is RealTek.
Speaker out put is fine; but headphone have lot of hiss and pops.
I would like to upgrade the sound card to what I have; while able to use to front case Audio Jacks. So when I plug in headphone in it should cut off the speakers; which is plug in at back

I am happy with sound quality what is giving me (Off course hiss and pops not acceptable)
So what would be lateral or may little step up Sound Card; which will not cause a dent in a wallet.
 
The problem may not be the soundcard on the motherboard, it could be the front panel connection. If you plug the headphones in at the rear do you still hear the hiss & pop?
 
Actually that verifies that the problem is the front connector, the wire that runs to the front connector or the front connector assembly itself. Using a soundcard is not likely to fix the issue, you might want to check to make sure that the front panel audio header is not running too close to other components.
 
Eŕrrrrrr
Problem is built in sound card.
Front connecters emits noise.
I am in need of sound card.
So what would be natural upgrade.
I did saw Asus Xnoar DG pci link
Looks good candidate
What you all think?
 
That will work, keep in mind however that it may not necessarily fix the problem. The problem may potentially be the header on the onboard soundcard. However it's just as likely that the cabling to the front connectors, or the connectors themselves are at fault in which case a new soundcard would do nothing to fix the issue.

Headers works fine with different M.B.
This M.B. always had a issue regardless of the case.
I have a Sound Blaster Audigy zs, but it does not have a connector for front case; which is a deal breaker
I am thinking about using this diagram and do the wiring manually

I think this is not compatible with HD Audio
plus I am afraid of Creative Drivers are notorious for memory thrashing and leaks!

Its just for meeting and Phone calls i just dont like hiss and pops.
Standard full functional sound card will do the trick! And fit the bill
