    Some quick google search has led me to find a couple options by Creative. I find their stuff too expensive though (SoundBlaster XFi Notebook $72 USD. I would need to have a friend buy it and ship it to me here + exchange rate. Looking at over $100 or $115 local). I am not looking for anything amazing, just better than my notebook speakers and sound. I have a decent set of headphones and want to hear better than what the built in jack was giving me before it broke.

    A very small USB soundcard would do as well. I'd prefer ExpressCard since I take my notebook to school every day and there is a better chance of losing a USB device.
