I use connecsant AC 97 audio. Some people say it sucks. I've yet to have a
problem with it. The realtech card on my netbook is ok. Its hd too, but the
stario mix/microphone seriously sucks. The stario mix, mind you, can have
its volume controlled, unlike this here hp. Problem is, the microphone
volume is so low, even at 100 percent, while stario mix is on, its not even
funny. Lastly, there is no microphone boost option, which greatly annoys
me, unlike on this hp.
My desktop is a hole other story. Forcing me to use gold wave to adjust
audio properties, since the recording volume just has a bunch of mute
checkboxes, and I can't be sure what I'm selecting. It also has no volume
sliders that I can see. This is another realtech hd card, I think its an
alc662 or something like that. I absolutely love soundblaster live cards.
The best out of the bunch, in my oppinion. Stario mix rocks, line in
rocks, it can do microphone and stario mix together, etc. Its rather old,
and I don't know if you can find one for a laptop. I don't like there 24
bit cards, though. Crackles with anything. Horribly latent, I found. Have
no idea about microphone or anything but I hated it.
Have a SiS 702 or something here built in to an older system. It does all
of what you describe. Stario mix is unadjustable though, same as this hp.
In fact, that's what I'll most likely use for recording my podcasts, since
it just happens to be in the room my systems are in.

I agree. I have Vista and my card goes crazy sometimes. Get a new one. I
would spend the money for an internal one and get it installed. Since it's
gonna be your primary card. Later

I have xp, I have never used line in with this card I can't use stereo
mix with the mic at all.
The hd card doesn't have any issue with mota.
it has no issue with the gma games as long as you don't run anything on
the card at all.
I'd still recomend getting another card.
Aparently some say hd cards are good, maybe I have not figured them out.
if I could stop them cracking and doing weird things maybe I'd use em,
actually tried, when it works its real cool.

Shaun,
Are you quite sure this is a sound card issue? I really want to make
absolutely sure before I fork out some cash for a new card. I'm already
in debt (I hate these stupid credit cards hehe), so I really want to
avoid purchasing something I won't be needing. secondly, are you running
xp or vista? If you are running vista, can you use stereo mix and line
in and all that stuff with no problems? and lastly, which card do you
recommend for this Toshiba laptop? Should I perhaps just buy an external
card? I have absolutely no clue how to install a soundcard on a laptop,
which would most likely mean giving up even more cash to have someone
install it if it isn't external

the hd card sounds rather cool when used, however I have had issues
where stuff didn't run right, ie teraformas, and sod and a couple other
things.
Most things do run ok.
then there is the fact that there are 2 seperate input/output devices.
these are not linked and you get no mic sharing with playback and
recording.
The card also crackles loads and extra drivers seem to mangle this
system and make it even worse.

Hey all,
This soundcard is a realtek high definition audio. I have no clue what
realtek considers high definition audio but there you go lol. I've
also had many issues with it, such as not being able to use line-in
cause that option is non-existent, and not being able to unmute my
microphone when stereo mix is on. I have yet to find a solution for
this issue and I've been looking in hundreds of forums. This greatly
annoys me since I was planning on recording mk and sfiv reviews amung
other things. I'd appreciate if anyone could answer the following
questions: first, is there a fix for this issue I'm having? is it my
soundcard acting up, or is it Vista itself? I've heard many rumors
that vista doesn't support line-in and that it also lacks the ability
to record both microphone output and stereo mix, so I'd like
confirmation from people using other cards with vista. and second, do
you guys know if this card supports surround sound? Thomas, I know you
said the headphones have 3 jacks you c
an
plug into the card. only problem here is I only have a headphone jack,
and another jack to the left which I presume is for the microphone. I'm
using an internal mic so not sure about this, and the only time I tried
plugging a microphone in there, the person I was talking to heard this
loud annoying sound. This is a toshiba laptop btw. If Vista's the
culprit, then I'll most likely uninstall it since all these audio
problems are really getting on my nerves, not to mention the ftp issue
I've been having which I mentioned on here months ago. still haven't
managed to fix that either *grin*. so any help at all you guys can
provide would be much appreciated as this computer's driving me insane.
