I'm planning to buy an extra (external) soundcard for my labtop. I was thinking of the Telex "P-500 USB Communications System". My questions:
1. Is it a good card and does it work smoothly with Atomix?
2. Is the sound level not too low? I connect my labtop now to a dj mixer through the headphone output which has a volume button (I have to put that at 80 % of its maximum and turn the gain button on my mixer at 70 % to get a decent output). I think the sound level on a USB device in general might be very low because it doesn't have a volume control button on it, or am i wrong?
I have a Toshiba Dynabook A2 Series (PIII 800 256 RAM Japanese Win Me) with an Optical line out built in, which I use to record on Mini Disc. That sound is a lot better than my headphone output. Is it possible to connect the optical out to a dj mixer? Are there mixers with an optical line in? (I know some amplifiers do have em).
thanx,
David

I'd try the new Creative Extigy http://www.soundblaster.com/products/extigy/ made by the most respected brand in the sound card business, it sounds good...has anyone had the chance to try it out yet with atomix?

Sound level too low.
Use stereo splitter.

Core: were you talking about the sound level in the Extigy?
