same as all the other cardbus sound cards is they don't bother to implement code in the firmware to use the laptops speakers. don't know if a person can trust engineers that can't turn on the speaker in a pc platform--umm..now where would that information be hmm....? can you even trust the specs? silly things even told me that the speaker can't be turned on because its hardwired to the onboard sound chip!! oh--my--I guess they don't realize that is what passthrough is for:)))))))))))

The specs say it needs 2000/XP and a processor faster than what we've got in the Libretto, but knowing most companies, they spec. their current products for more than the absolute minimum nowadays.
This is an 'amazing' sound card for the $129 price if we can assume that the stellar Audigy2 PCI platform has indeed been squeezed into the PCMCIA form-factor. The built-in headphone/line-in jacks makes this a great all-in-one device as well.

Anyways, those wanting better, more noise-free audio from their Librettos should consider taking a test-drive with the Audigy2 ZS card to see if it will even work on such a slow platform as the Libretto, and would work for those wanting a quality audio card that works under 2k/xp (unlike the previously noted TDK PCMCIA card which only runs under 95/98).
