Decent Cheap Sound Card - Vista

[AmishSlayer]

I've decided it's time for me to buy a sound card. I've been using onboard sound ever since my first computer and it's been fine with me up until lately. More and more games that don't have proper audio settings for me to fiddle with have horribly crackly sound. I've also been wanting to get one so I can actually have sound when I get a VGA cable for my 360.

I've been hearing about lots of problems with Vista and some sound cards (I'll upgrade to Vista eventually) so my question is this:

What cheap but decent sound card will work with Vista?

Note: I am not an audiophile. I don't have speakers - just a headset - so 7.1 crazy surround isn't necessary. I just want something that is Vista compatible, has the audio jacks for a VGA 360 cable, is cheap and doesn't suck as bad as my onboard sound does.

Thanks

EDIT: Errr. Looks like I'm an idiot and you can't jack in the audio cables on a 360 VGA cable for any sound card :| Any card with those jacks will use it for output...DERP

A stereo to mini audio cable like this wouldn't work?

That would work

Now I just need to find one.

EDIT: Wait, I don't know if my onboard sound has an audio in jack for that.

RadioShack. You'll find them there (or some place like that).

Yeah, planning on hitting RadioShack tomorrow. Could I just hook up the VGA Cable to the stereo->mini cable and plug the 3.5mm cable into the Line In port on my board, then be able to hear the sound on my headphones?
