The OP spoke about using a laptop, that means he can't use a "good sound
card".


Sure he can, as long as "sound card" is defined loosely as "audio
interface". But for his application, a laptop's Line In will be just
fine, as long as he hasn't got one of those irredeemably noisy
laptops.



I said "good sound card", not "sound card", the inclusion of the word good
was important. I've yet to meet a laptop with "good" on-board audio.

IME few laptops even have audio line in, most that I've met just have
microphone input and headphone/line out.
