i used to, i had a extigy soundblaster, which added more hum and noise,i even bought a 2 channel ebtech noise and hum elliminator which took out some of the noise & hums but that added more cables to my gears,i use a mackie board ( profx8 )and SRM450 powered mackie speakers i dont use any ext. soundcards now, in my opinion adding more ext. sound enhancement or adapters will create more noise. hums are usually created by lows and hizz/feedbacks are mostly created by highs, i just kinda use my eq's and do the necessary adjustments.
