Me too. I had a Signalink. With the K3 I found no difference between it and
the built-in sound of my Lenovo T400 laptop, which is my current system.
At K9YC's suggestion I acquired a Tascam US-100. While it worked fine, there
was no noticeable difference in performance on my modes of choice, RTTY and
PSK. Perhaps on so called lower noise modes like JT65 there would be some
difference: I can't say. Personally, I think we're at the mercy of the quality
of the line out on the K3. VOX works fine, you don't need any more complex
switching.
The hand-wringing over Windows sounds when using an internal sound card is
unwarranted in my opinion. Turn the things off and stop worrying about it. If
you're a total klutz you can have Windows sounds on your external card too.

Hi,
I used to use a Rigblaster on my old Icom, I got the K3, and after
asking was told no need... I reluctantly connected everything, and it
works just fine with out an interface... No hum, everything works very
well... I have no wires coming out the front of the rig, nor to I have
to rewire for mode changes... I am totally happy with teh lack of an
interface...
Do download everything K9YC has published and read it...
