I've got a newer Dell Latitude that has a builtin HD audio chipset for which there is no support. My requirements for any such device are: + analog jacks for mic, line in and line out + handles multiple sampling rates including 44.1K and 48K + 16 bit stereo + very low noise characteristics + self powered + small I specifically do not need some features that lots of vendors seem to stress, like 5.1 support and surround effects. I'll be using this device as an interface between the computer and a radio for digital modes on shortwave. The following place seems to have several devices that meet these requirements: http://www.usbgear.com/USB-Sound.html But I'd rather not buy one blindly and have it not work.
