I have been using UVS9 and Happy with it. I have DELL P4 and built in (Integrated in mother board) audio card.
While editing my home video using VS9, I add background music (Streo MP3/WMA). While playing my burned DVD on my TV, I am not happy with the music quality. I am using default audio setting 256 kHZ in VS9. Is there anyway I can improve audio quality in my burned DVD? Should I change my audio card? Which card gives decent quality? Or Is thare any software/Equalizer to improve the audio quality?
If you need more info, I am happy to provide.

What seems to be wrong with the sound? I assume that your MP3 & WMA files sound OK?
There will always be some quality loss when you convert from one lossy format to another lossy format (i.e. MP3 to AC3), but the resulting quality should not be terrible.
If you're getting distortion, you could try reducing the audio level. I was getting noticable distortion when converting from MPEG-2 audio to AC3. Reducing the level to 75% eliminated the (noticable) distortion.
Your sound card is not involved converting your digital audio file to a DVD format. It's only used for recording and playback on your computer. So, a better sound card might make the DVD sound better when played-back on your computer, but it won't change how the DVD sounds on your living-room player.
