Are you talking about production or general audio (eg. gaming, movies, listening to music)? There's a fine line between high-end (multimedia) mainstream cards and (semi-) professional ones.

Can anyone recommend a good sound card and speakers that works with
Windows and Linux, that are reasonably priced (around $650 for both),
and has up to date drivers?

I was thinking of going with the Sound Blaster X-Fi Elite Pro, good choice?

Many Thanks,
Preston
