To add to the list, my older HP Pavilion DV7 with Vista Home Premium has a line in. It is labelled as "external mic" but is really a stereo line in with switchable preamp. The sound device is by IDT and the drivers support 24 bits at 192KHz!
Unfortunately, like so many other motherboard sound devices, the noise level is so high that external USB sound devices provide significantly better performance with demodulated audio. I have not even attempted to try the built-in sound with direct I/Q audio due to the noise level. 73, ... Joe, W4TV > On 8/22/2012 7:22 PM, Greg wrote: >> Look at the hp slate 500.
