I had a girlfriend who was a musician and back in the late 90s, home recording was rare (but starting to become a thing). We found that the cheapest sound card from a music store had lower noise and better signal-to-noise ratio than even the best (or most expensive) sound card available at computer stores.
For games today, I use the audio interface that came with the computer. For dealing with my synthesizers, I use a Scarlett by Focusrite [0].

- Spooky23 4y agoI worked at a CompUSA in high school, and remember a specific white box sound card was frequently sought after by musicians. IIRC it was $15-20 Sometimes they would ask to open the box to see the chips on the board. I was all about 3D acceleration and didn’t have the money or interest to do anything with audio so I never learned much more about it.
