Laptop Sound Card
Q:What should I look for in a laptop sound card?
A: In most cases, the sound in laptop computers can be best described as "under-whelming." That's one reason the VR-Fidelity is a great laptop sound card alternative. Another reason is the dual-functionality as the premier portable Skypephone.
Auzentech is best known as the provider of high-end desktop computer soundcards, but it also has the award-winning VR Fidelity Speakerphone, a VOIP Skypephone that serves admirably as laptop sound card.
Resembling a donut with a speaker in the middle, the VR Fidelity VOIP Skypephone has a microphone mute button, a volume dial, a headphone jack, and an audio out jack. It connects to your laptop via the USB cable. Inside is a laptop sound card built around the same high-quality audio chipset that is at the heart of Auzentech's other high-end soundcards.
The bullet points below discuss the major features.
- When used as a laptop sound card, the VR Fidelity takes over for the built-in laptop sound card.
- The headphone jack provides stereo output and silences the built-in speaker.
- The Aux output jack provides stereo output for your external powered speakers, and allows the VR-Fidelity to continue to play as an external speaker to supplement the audible range of frequencies.
- A subtle lightshow is displayed during playback. In the center are blue LEDs that pulse to match the audio.
- When used as a skypephone, the echo-cancellation and full-duplex mode allows you to talk at the same time as the other caller, without any of the muting common to low-cost speakerphones.
The VR-Fidelity provides a great dual-function laptop sound card. Use it as an external soundcard, external speaker, and hands-free speakerphone and VOIP Skypephone. For a flexible laptop sound card solution that provides great playback and features, check the VR-Fidelity.
