The B550 is the only board that has a thunderbolt header, thunderbolt is fairly common place for external drives to store projects on because it has very high transfer rates. USB C is a very good alternative and is pretty much at the same speeds, but it's still quite new and external USB C drives are rather pricey a lot of the time (for something professional). Thunderbolt has other benefits also in that it can fit thunderbolt screens, and you can daisy chain drives and soundcards.Thanks! So if i upgrade the motherboard I don’t need the extra card?
If you're talking a gaming soundcard like on PCS, that's not what you need at all, completely the wrong product. You want a proper audio interface for plugging in Mics and proper headphones etc. Gaming soundcard has a very niche use these days primarily for 7.1 surround sound speaker setups for gaming, outside of that, it's poor sound quality and normally matched anyway by on board sound.How does creative sound blaster sound?

USB C is the next step in replacing thunderbolt. The two are actually combining with USB 4 which is due to be released this year I think, but it will be a different hardware so the current motherboards won't support it.
If you don't use thunderbolt though (I was assuming you were already doing production and had a load of drives lying around), then the X570 Strix board is the one to go for, it's got really substantial VRM capabilities and is generally an excellent board. It's pricey though, will take you just over budget I think, but not by much.
You wouldn't need anything else changing.

An audio interface is a whole different kettle of fish, supports High Res and Lossless bitrates, and has professional inputs and outputs for whatever you need, there are various different types, usb c, thunderbolt and normal usb:
