Hello Christopher and list: Looking at desk tops for now. Thanks for the
feedback and info! I can remember (before I bought this machine) to try and
stay away from Dell as whatever they did, their proprietary sound cards (for
whatever reason) would not yield enough volume in some chatrooms! That was
why I got an Audigy 2 on this one; it works pretty good, although I found
that the mic jack in the front on the tower had very low volume! Butt then
when I plugged the mic in the back, it was better!

Subject: Re: Feedback Needed Concerning Sound Cards
Are you talking about a desktop system or a laptop? Any desktop system
should have empty PCIE slots and open USB ports, so you should be fine. If
you're talking about a laptop, I think you can get pretty good USB sound
cards, so that shouldn't be a problem. There are a few brands of laptops
that have paired up with audio companies, so I'd assume they'd have pretty
good built in sound cards. HP has a laptop with their Beets system. Good
luck.

Hi List: We've sort of discussed this a little at various times, but am
looking to get a new computer with Windows 7 on it as my XP Machine is
starting to show it's age as it is getting old and slow; possibly could
have something corrupted! But my question is: do any of you know which
brand of computers have really good sound cards? Or can you tell me
which ones will actually let you put a different sound card (this Dell
machine has an Audigy 2 that we had them put in) or maybe my question is
more like: which sound cards should I stay away from? I'll be using the
machine to do voice chatting (VIP Conduit) and For-The-People) will also
need it to accommodate recording, using Total Recorder as well as Tapin
Radio) I would guess that most sound cards will accommodate Jaws (or most
screen readers) but I just want to find out which is the best way to go
before actually ordering a new machine! Your responses will be much
appreciated!
Thanks,
Tom Kaufman P.S. In case anyone out there is wondering, I _did_ get my
problem with my Windows Sounds resolved!
