Given you have am amd64 based machine, I'm pretty surprised at the noise.
What else is on the PCI bus?
As to cards, it doesn't need to be amd64 specific, if alsa supports it, they
will work. For decent sound most cards with an envy24 controller and 24-bit
DACs are pretty good. You;ll use more cpu to run them, but nothing significant.
One card is M-Audio's Revolution 7.1.
Another I like to run the Headroom's Bitwise headphone amp. It hooks up via USB.
While the DAC is only 16-bit, it does a really grest job. Plus it's outside the box.
Beware USB attached sound cards, while some work, many require firmware downloads
to function.
