What is the best soundcard?

I have just both a headphone with an attached microphone thinking that I could use it in recording. Which is my primary goal beside chatting. But when I try to do some recording a window pops up that says my soundcard driver doen't support DirectSound Input. What should I do? Do I have to buy a new soundcard or just a driver? Please help me out on this one guys.

Look up the soundcard and see what it supports.Possibly you need to change a setting on the soundcard in the control panel to make it work with the headset you're using.
