PC Internal Sound Card

Just purchased a K3/100, awaiting delivery.

Just installed 4 RS232 serial ports in my Dell Inspiron 660 PC for rig
interfacing. Didn't want any issues that can arise with a USB-Serial port
adaptors.

I am looking to add an Internal Sound Card (in a PCIe slot) that is up to
the task of doing the audio interface. I would also be looking to add
LP-Pan pan-adaptor in the future, so I would want a soundcard that could
accommodate that as well.

Is there an Internal PC soundcard out there on the market that is up to the
task?

Any recommendations would be helpful.

What integrated audio does your Dell carry? My Inspiron 560 has Realtek
HD audio and it is perfectly adequate for digital modes (#243 RTTY)
including very occasional JT65A 6m EME. I no longer feel the need to
use my microHam Digi Keyer II and have removed it from the set up. I
have turned Windows sounds OFF, don't need them.

Occam's Razor applies.

Hi Bruce,
The built in sound card will work but if you want any other sound devices available you will need another. Any of the Asus boards should do the trick. Just make sure it has a stereo input for use with lppan.
As to USB to serial devices don't worry about them. They work as long as you get a decent quality one. You can also buy a used edge port USB to 8 serial device on eBay. Works well.

There are many internal cards The creative sound blaster Audigy FX
PCIe will do 24 bit / 196 stereo so that will be fine for LP-Pan it
can be had for under $40. I have the PCI version. seems quite both
in and out. works well for digital including JT65
