I've been through this dance before on my other ASUS lappy. I have an M-Audio FastTrack which is what I use for live work. It's bulky but doesn't weigh much. The USB interrupts are mostly free. I'm shocked that the hda-intel works *at all* on this netbook. I'm perfectly happy to use it for VoIP and websurfing, and not for anything serious. -ken _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
