yeah. I hope the netbook for my work experience I will be doing doesn't give
a driver fit with JFW. We are going to hook a regular keyboard to it, and I
will probably use my Aftershokz headphones unless I end up needing something
that can be an earplug and a headset at the same time.

Yep, that's right about the Mic, then again! Mic's come in all shapes and
sizes and the problem is the exact reverse on my Netbook for example, it
takes a Mic but hates line in sources, never successfully got it to work
with one until I started using an external sound device.

That is such a lovely thing, and with Audio Hijack you can route anything
where you want, but not so confusing as the big numbers of audio
repeaters. The one thing that kind of took me off guard is that a mac
book will not take an analog mic directly, so it needs to be a USB one or
something at the line or digital in.

Firstly, - unless you're talking a Mac Pro System - the Mac does not
take sound cards, all Mac machines have a built-in analogue/digital
audio input/output to start with which are probably useful for most
situations.
If you wish to add a sound device then this is done using the USB ports,
I use several different sound devices with my Mac including a Fastrak
mixer, Imic, external speakers, microphone and headphones.
As a Windows user as well as a Mac user it would seem to me that
handling of multiple sound devices on a Mac is far smoother, set the
device and associated settings and forget them, no crashes, no tandtums
thrown by the operating system about multiple sound devices etc.
I use Windows 7 here on my Windows machines with multiple sound devices,
I've had occasions where the machine has selected the wrong device even
though I specifically set it to a particular sound device, I've had
times where the Windows machine has just totally given up and crashed
and so on, with the Mac I've had none of this so if you want better
audio management they yep! look at a Mac for sure.
The other thing that I really like about the Mac's audio management is
that you don't have to worry about the Screen Reader interfering with
whatever applications stream you wish to record, for example suppose you
wish to capture a sound stream from the Internet, you just configure
your software such as Audio Hijack Pro, to record that stream and you
don't have to worry about what your Screen Reader or any other audio
application/device is doing, neat!

Hi,
I would be curious to know what does VAC do that can not be achieved
with multiple sound cards?
Thanks.
