1 Is there any soundcard wich is both cheap and good?
Hi,

I'm not yet really into audio-recording.

I've planned to buy a computer to do some recording (looking for some secondhand-stuff). Thinking about a 1,2 ghz with 512 MB ram. Something like that. All these machines have souncards onboard. Can I possibly use such a card to do audiorecording? Or do I really need to buy one? What should I spend?

Thanks!

Problems for most of the onboard audio card are:
- not appropriate connector (small jack)
- bad connector
- noise
- limited to 16 bit/44kHz
- high latency

So, I think it's really much better buying a real sound card ;-)
