Default Notebook soundcard for listening?

I subscribe to Rhapsody and I've been using my onboard laptop sound
for listening, and was wondering if anyone knew of a good PCMCIA card
under $50 worth buying. I won't be recording with it, just listening.
Thanks,
Jeff

I have tried listening via the internal sound card on a couple of hp
laptops, it is good enough to analyze a recording or to simply enjoy music.
I could probably find something to hold against them from a high end point
of view, but in the real world it takes input capability requirements for me
to supplement with an external something.

Thanks,
Jeff



Kind regards

Part of the problem with the built-in is the amplifier section. Although the
D/A is not the greatest, I've found that, if listening by phones, following
with a headphone amp provides significant improvement. Earbuds and in-ears
are sufficiently sensitive that there is no additional benefit.

All right guys. Thanks.
