Scott:
I went through this just a few months ago as I had purchased a new Dell
laptop that did not support Writelog.
I purchased a Sound Blaster usb soundcard, the Live 24 External. Its $50.
I tested it with the soundboard check program which comes up with a 6B.
The first thing the sound check program tells me is that it can't find a
line input. However, the sound blaster in fact does have a line input
on the back. I'm not so sure if the sound board check program tells the
entire story.
The external usb card worked well during sweepstakes last month, but I
only used it for a single radio not so2r.
