Does anyone here use an external soundcard?

[Rock-A-Bye-Baby]

I am thinking about getting one because my laptop output broke. Also, i want a better interface for inputting audio onto my computer.
Any recomendations?

Soundblaster Audigy 2ZS is really good for that application. I want one myself. I have used one before though, and it has an extremely clean output, especially considering the small form factor.
Read all the specs, I'm sure you'd be impressed too.... I especially like it because it is just nearly as portable as the laptop, no extra powersupply and external box to deal with as most any other external soundcards.
Hope this helps!
