Try the ASIO4ALL drivers, they work with many WDM capable cards or possibly even onboards.
KXproject provides ASIO capable drivers for **SOME** SB Live / SB Audigy cards
http://kb.kxproject.lugosoft.com/list.html - List of supported/unsupported cards. Only those based on the EMU10K1 / EMU10K2 can be supported by KX, and a few of those may have issues preventing full support - it seems many of the current models are NOT SUPPORTED
http://www.soundblaster.com/products/musicmovies/article.asp?articleID=53937&categoryID=15 - According to this, Creative X-Fi and selected Audigy models support ASIO - The only X-Fi that says ASIO is supported is the Extreme Music
The Asus Xonar D1 also appears to be ASIO capable, according to reviews.
See how you get on with the ASIO4ALL setup, and if you want a real cheapo card solution, then find a secondhand model supported by KX drivers
