What Sound Card ?

Currently running this Computer:

Custom Case
CPU: Prescott Intel Pentium 4, 3000 MHz (15 x 200)
Memory: 1.5gb DDR pc3200
GPU: (e-VGA) nVidia GeForce 6600 (256 MB AGP)
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-8IPE1000-G v4
Sound Card: Creative SB Live! 24-bit Sound Card
OB Sound Card: Intel 82801EB ICH5 - AC'97 Audio Controller [A-2/A-3]

I am wondering what sound card I should get that also is complient with the kX Project - my SB Live! Is "EOL" End of Life according to creative, because when I plug in my 2.1 speakers (Ironically Creatives I-Trigue 2.1 (3300) speakers) there is a loud BASS HUM that wont stop unless i turn down the bass on the speakers. But when I use my OB Sound card it works GREAT

BUT I want to use a PCI sound card instead of using my Mobo's resources for my sound.

I also am looking for a card that has the adaptar on it for front mic/headphone jacks - because my current SB Live! does not - but there is a slot on my Mobo for the AC'97.

Any suggestions?

Here are SBLives that I have owned that have the front and rear outputs (but no 24 bit record or playback).
CT4830
CT4870
CT4780

Audigy cards I have owned that have the Front, rear and SubWoofer out
SB0350 (Audigy 2ZS)
SB0090 (Audigy 1)
