i dont have no mac's
i just picked up a 5.1 speaker system and can only use most of it due to the limitations on the PB sound card....(only cost me 15 bones so i figured id just get it and then spend some money on something to get it to work)

i was wondering if anybody know of any usb external sound cards that they would recomend to me?

TIA

You might investigate Griffin Technology's iMic. It connects through the USB and handles both input and output. It is a major improvement over the internal sound output but I don't know if it will give you full support for 5.1. From my own setup I know it works well with a 2.1 system.

It won't give you 5.1. sound.

I'd recommend taking a look at a different device tbo. Can't really recommend anything except the hercules pocket muse.

It works with pc & mac, except that using mac you can't import audio at 44.1. Khz, only at 48 Khz which makes it useless to me (Garageband only imports at 44.1. Khz)

But it does feature full 5.1. speaker support, so maybe take a look...
