Turtle Beach, now Voyetra Turtle Beach, has been creating sound cards, including more professional sound cards for over 17 years. In fact to quote Turtle Beach they pioneered PC-based hard-disk recording. Whether this is true or is just marketing babble is debatable, but TurtleBeach sound cards are of very high quality. They have produced such cards as the Montego series of sound cards and their most recent product, the Santa Cruz.
