Hi There

Could anyone tell me where I could find an external UB soundcard for my notebook? Specs on my new com are really good except for the low end internal sound card. Creative has a couple decent cards, and they seem to be the most popular choice in Thailand, but on a hunt through Fortune Town today had no luck in locating a USB card. Actually, when questioning most salespeople they seemed to have no idea what I was talking about.

I might have to wait till a trip to Singapore, but if you know another IT center in town (i.e. Zeer, Panthip, Laksi) where you have seen a shop which deals in USB soundcards, I would highly appreciate the information. My internal card is fine for most everything, but I do a lot of digital music production (using Sonar, Reason, Fruity Loops, etc) and the com card just can't handle that kind of punishment.

Cheers!

Tom

Got to Pantip Plaza, on the 3. Floor i9s a shop in the back named STC. They dealing with all kind of special Adon cars such as SCSI, TV-Sound and so on and all CD-Staff as well.

Talk to the Owner K. Visan or hims Wife. both very good in english and the service from this company is outstanding. If you mention my name they will even do more for you!

I suppose there'll be less people there during Songkran. I haven't been to Pantip for years though. I usually go to Zeer or Future Town.

STC closed on Sundays and I believe during the Songkram holidays as well.

what is wrong with the sound from your machine exactly, is it the sound quality (probably the internal speakers) the sound volume (internal speakers) what type of sound are you after ? I use my laptop as my music center and have it plugged into my hifi and it is superb, only reason I would require and upgrade would be for improving the sound stage dolby digital etc. you can buy a set of external speakers or use headphones if you want better quality/volume

Hi there

Sorry, never realized someone replied to me.

I do a lot of music wiritng, producing on my machine, and DAW programs (Propellerhead Reason, Cakewalk Sonar, Frutiy Loops mainly) plus all the plugins I use require a fairly robust soundcard. I start to get lots of crackles from my programs unless I lower the quality immensly. For just listneing to music my com's interanal card is fine.

I found a decent creative external card - USB - for a few thousand baht - works very well, and is very compact. Plus can handle my music programs well. I got this at the IT center in Laksi Plaza....a good shop on the 2nd floor that handles a lot of creative products. I've seen one on the net that plugs in to your pcmcia port, it's new and not to expensive - I'll probably try and get that one when I have a chance, if it ever comes to thailand.
