I have a soundblaster zxr soundcard (Amazon product ASIN B00AQ5PK6I) and I was wondering if getting an audio interface would be worth it, with any improvement in sound quality or latency/processing.
Would getting something not a deep dive financially like a focusrite scarlette be an improvement(in terms of sound quality, taking load off my CPU) or a waste because I already have a soundcard?
One thing I've noticed is that I getting buzzing coming through my monitors when I'm doing anything graphically intensive like gaming, and I suspect its interference from the fan of my graphics card leaking into the soundcard/wires right next to it on the motherboard(although this isn't a problem when I'm composing).
