external sound card for my laptop
Hi guys Like the subject says, I've got this Asus laptop, and I'm looking at getting an external sound card, preferably USB that will allow me to, among other things, use the what u hear, or stereo mix option so I can record external devices like a tape deck or something similar, or in other cases, allow me to record software speech so that I can review a program and send it to somewhere like blind cool tech or put it on my own podcast feed. I realize one of the Creative Audigy, or possibly a turtle beach card will let me do this, so I'm aware that it can be done. The thing is, I'd like to be able to do the instalation of the software independently, I understand that when you hook up sound cards and other audio devices, windows takes that to mean that you want that new device to be the default card, and I'd like to be able to get it installed without sighted assistance...I've never done this before so it's something new to me. I've also heard that some of the instalation programs for these cards aren't the easiest to use with a screenreader. So if anyone has any thoughts or recommendations of a card that's easy to install and does everything I like, that would be awesome! Thanks.

external sound card for my laptop, any recommendations?
HI folks I'm looking to get an external USB sound card for my laptop, and I'd very much like for it to be either a creative sound blaster model, or another one that has something similar to the what u hear option. My old desktop had it but since I sadly don't have access to it anymore, I'd like to have some of the functionality again that that kind of card has. So any recommendations would be fantastic. I'm running XP SP 3 in case that's a factor. Thanks.

external sound card for my laptop
Hi folks Yes, I know, it's the question that's been asked on the list time and time again, but you know how it goes, you skip over a lot of messages that you think might not apply to you, and when they do you can't remember. So I've got this farely new laptop here and it's got XP Home on it, JAWS 9 with the most recent updates, and it's exactly how I like it, all accept for the sound card. It's got one of those sigmatel cards, and that just won't cut it for what I want to do. what I'd like to be able to do is capture stuff from external devices like a CD player, my Victor stream, or even speech from JAWS along with my voice so I can do demonstrations of software and other things like that. I know the What U hear option was available before, but I'm not sure which sound card to use so I can do all this again? I'd like it to be an external USB sound card if at all possible. I'm hoping this isn't asking too much, LOL. Anyways if anyone has an idea of which sound card to choose, and if it's for a reasonable price I'd go for it. I'd like to stay below $100 if possible. Thanks guys. Chris Audio List Help, Guidelines, Archives and more... http://www.pc-audio.org To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
