Scott,
A follow up ...
Both the Creative MP3+ (discontinued but sometimes available factory
refurbished from the Creative Labs Factory store on e-Bay for $15
http://stores.ebay.com/Creative-Labs-Factory-Store) and the Byterunner
UA-850 (http://www.byterunner.com/byterunner/product_name=UA580) - $29
score 7f on the WriteLog Soundboard test.
Until we are able to get test results on the Turtle Beach Audio
Advantage Roadie, the UA-850 appears to be the recommendation for
those who need an external sound card (laptop, etc.).
The UA-850 is not a "high performance" sound device but its test
results are competitive with the low price PCI cards and/or the
sound systems built into contemporary laptops.
73,
... Joe Subich, W4TV
