USB Sound Card

SAAER45 · 12-07-2005, 01:48 AM

I was looking for a solution to listening to my music on my laptop and found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829118107
It's a USB interface sound card, I would use it in my laptop that has horrible integrated sound. I know you can get sound cards the fit in the slot in the back of the laptop, but I only have one and need it for my wireless card. So my question is, do you think this will be worth it and improve my sound? I've never heard of a USB sound card and have no idea if its any good.
Thanks,
John

It doesnt really look that good, and considering that it has virtually no specs listed there, i wouldnt get it. It's probably not much better than your integrated sound.

I would suggest something like this:
