That's a fair question and the answer is that you may not need an Imic if you already have a sound card however, the Imic I have to say leaves the quality of the SB Live etc way behind so for the Price? Well that may be worth considering. The other great thing about the Imic is that it just works on a Windows box or a Mac, no drivers required at all so its great! if you're installing speech with Windows and you need to use that Windows Utility Manager, you can move it between computers as it just plugs into a USB port and now I come to think of it, its nice to be able to access the Imic to say remove plugs or change them, try doing that with a sound device in a computer when your computer is installed in a computer desk and see how long that all takes <smile>.

I'm using a PC. with a sound blaster card. Why do you need an Imic if you already have a soundcard? What extra benefit does it give you. Thanks, Joe.
