Linux Mint - Sound quality

Anyone have any ideas to tweak sound quality? I dropped to the console and alsamixer but it still is rather weak even jacking them up to 100. I have a sound card, but it doesn't have drivers for linux (oxygen 8788 chipset) so I'm trying to make the on board sound okay.

Suggestions? My onboard is a realtek on a high-end MB with SLI, Intel, obviously.

I would rather use my high end sound card, so if anyone knows where I can get a package for the a Razer Barracuda AC-1 that would be better!

I'm running Mint x64

If so, it might be easiest to get a small external amp like a boosteroo.

Linux driver stuff is a big mess.
