(i'm not recommending this one in particular-- but it just looks pretty).
i'm quite sure the problem with your machine is not the sound card though, but the connector, from what you describe, clearly that's what it is. it should't be more expensive than opening the thing, soldering a replacement, and closing it again. don't let them scam you!

it was the adapter!
but still, i'd like to get one of those firmware interface you are talking about.
