USB sound card suggestions

The integrated sound on our projector computer is not the greatest quality and creates some buzz. Not, very much and hardly noticeable during worship, but it is there. The buzz is absent when the pc is off, and starts after it boots up. I also tried lifting the PC power ground, but that did not help. So, I don't think it is a ground loop issue. Probably a noise or poor sound card.
It is the integrated sound from a Shuttle SH55-J2 XPC.

So, I was thinking about trying a USB sound card.
Nothing fancy needed. Just good, clear sound output (no input needed).

Any suggestions?
I like the looks of Turtle Beach's Micro II....

We got a Creative Labs Soundblaster something or other and are real happy with it.

I got a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB and use for more than playback. Sounds great and is not very expensive.

You may also want to look at Behringer's UCA202. It does sound both in and out, but you only have to use one way. Nice thing is, you can use this for something else if the need for audio in the other direction arises.

The problem is the cheap, unshielded, analog sound boards that are in the computers are surrounded by crazy electromagnetic fields, thus introducing the noise. Any of these USB solutions should help tremendously.

Peace.
