Further to this, the Turtle Beach costs around $80 US which is quite
inexpensive...rocker'

Hi,
Turtle beach is a good sound card, quieter than the various sb
cards. I owned and used one for years and the only reason I switched to an
audigy card was for the easy access to the jacks in the separate module
which sits atop my tower. I do lots of multi track recording and got tired
of crawling around under the desk to plug line in and microphone
cords. Also, the external module has volume control knobs, yes, I said
knobs. Makes life easier. But for normal work, the turtle beach is a fine
card.
