You do not need an exotic soundcard for digital modes, most any will do.
The big thing to pay attention to is the noise level, which may or may
not be specified.
The soundcards reviewed at www.telepostinc.com is a good resource, but
those listed are for panadapter purposes, and need a wide bandwidth.
That wide bandwidth is not required for digital modes, but if you have
it, there is no harm done.
Many of the inexpensive USB soundcards will work fine for digital modes.
As I indicated, the noise floor will define which card is better, not
the bandwidth.
Soundcards for digital use (but not panadapter) can be found in the $25
and up price category.

The matter is that you will send all the OS sounds to that interface (because
you have only one)- and at this point you need to chase all the notifications
what will be sending sound, and you cannot watch youtube anymore :-)

What's the matter with the internal soundcard in your computer?
