Are you sure there isn't a soundcard already in the laptop ? I can't
remember seeing one without built in support, usually having 2-3 2.5mm

I've seen too many laptops with no line-in.


In fact it has line in, but if I've got this about right, the quality of
onboard sound in general is not too good (the SB Audigy in my pc sounds
a lot better than the onboard sound) and I'd like a remote.

It may be a bit over your budget but go over to www.maudio.co.uk. As far
as I know, they still do a USB version of the Audiophile 24/96
soundcard. The PCI version ****es all over the Audigy and sounds as good
as a quality stand-alone CD player.
