Don't you have final scratch? Your supposed to be able to use that as an external sound card when the mp3 mapping program isn't running. You should look into that.

Yes, but I don't want to buy anything. :) I suppose a USB one wouldn't be bad, park it here on my desk and just hook it up when I'm home. Seems so stupid just to get some volume. |

I suppose I could hook up the scratch amp to my stereo, but that's not convenient, my turn tables/FS aren't located in the same room, so I'd be connecting and disconnecting everything everytime I switch back and forth. |

i think its a software problems somewhere. in my experiences with laptops, the sound may be ty but atleast there is some sort of volume control and at a decent level.
if you want good quality sound as well as amplitude, go with an external card; but if you just want it louder, i suggest taking a deeper look into your comp |

well.. you're not seting up home theater or anything, haha... so multichannel stuff might be useless for you...
the transit is made specifically for laptop... |

Yah, I got the transit, but I don't understand, the thing comes with a friggin 10 foot USB cable, I've never seen one that long before. It's annoying, laptops require short cables not long huge ones. |
