Just buy an external DAC
As a hobbyist musician, the more you externalise these sorts of things, the more latency you create. A discreet, internal, soundcard is probably going to trump external DACs for a long time to come.
External DACs totally have their place, music playback, movies/shows. But for doing audio work, internal is the way to go.
What card are you using? Does it have an external breakout box?
Last one I used was the delta 10/10 which I loved
It's an older Creative card, still has plenty of oomph. It had a breakout box. Lord knows where it is.
