    Hi all,

    I've been looking at the PCMCIA SoundBlaster, and I noticed there are USB sound cards as well. And I perfer USB because my PCMCIA slot is to the right of my laptop (in the way of my mouse). Could anyone recommend some USB sound cards?

    Cheers,

    USB soundblaster live is pretty nice especially becasue its really cheap. But if you want something nicer you can get a USB Audidgy 2. Thinks its the external Soundblaster Audidy 2 NX but there might be a USB somewhere in that name. And that shoudl be a really nice sound card.

    I'm also curious about USB soundcards, does anyone have experiences with this cheap Turtle Beach one? Theres also an off brand one but I'm not sure about it here.

    I really can't go with any card options also, my T61 only has the new Express slot and the sound cards for that are expensive.
