I am thinking about utilizing a USB soundcard to get rid of any chance of static, pops or cracks from my Via motherboard and I saw this on ebay:
Generic 5.1 analog/digital USB soundcard
Has anyone seen this before or have any information on it? It seems to offer quite a lot as far as connections are concerned:
S/PDIF out
S/PDIF in
1/8" mic in
1/8" line in
1/8"x3 5.1 analog out
I doubt it utilizes a 24-bit DAC and makes no mention of any technical specs but for under $30 shipped it might be OK.
