Did you ever listen to the quality coming out of laptop-soundcards?
Even if the maker is using good parts (which would be a very rare case), the
fact that its builtin and on the same board as everything else accounts for
bad audio-quality. There is just no way to get the shielding right inside of
a notebook. Unless you use a shielded card in the pcmcia/pccard-slot.
While it might sound good with (cheap) headphones, its definitely a no-go when
connected to big power systems. Apart from the fact that symmetric
connections are much easier for disconnecting the earth...
Have fun,

Am I a typical
spoiled Mac user then who assumes that the laptop
comes with a soundcard and it's simply a matter of plugging speakers
into the headphone slot? It seems I'm too naive.
