Echo makes a couple of professional PCMCIA interfaces that are supported

persuaded to part with it.
Good built-in audio + laptop = lesson in futility

It is technically possible to get good built-in audio. It is just that
laptop manufactures don't bother.
For example, The Creative Audigy 2 ZS Notebook is a PCMCIA card that has
very good quality audio capture, and that is sitting inside the laptop,
so why can't the laptop itself have good quality mic input?
Note: I will soon be adding Linux ALSA support for the Audigy 2 ZS
Notebook PCMCIA card. Today I managed to get the mic/line-in capture
working, but will be a little time before I have anything I can check
into the ALSA repository.
