dane accurately points out that many quality computers have high definition audio built right into the motherboard or chip. Last year I bought a Dell 8700 with the Intel 4770 processor. It had built in high-definition audio equal to and actually slightly better than the M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 audio interface I bought 10 years ago for my XP machine. I like working with two sound cards so I can manage the screen reader audio and music independently. About a month ago, I bought the Roland Duo audio interface from e-Bay for $37, including shipping. It is a USB interface that has both line in and microphone inputs, the latter with a pre-amp. It is compatible with windows 8.1 and except for one button during installation, it is accessible with JAWS. Instruments sound distinct and unprocessed. Normally, this retails for about $200.
