How were you listening to your music? Maybe you can still tune it a
bit by running the card fixed at 48kHz and play your music with a good
resampling soundfile player. I'd recommend mocp (Music On Console) for
this, it's using libsamplerate and you can configure the quality of
the resample algorithm. Or, if money allows, get a good sounding PCI
card. The M-Audio Audiophile is very good and well shielded, too, so
you won't hear the fans. On *bay it may be available cheap as well.
PCI cards tend to be cheaper for comparable quality than USB cards.

Ciao
