Laptop Advice

Hi,
here´s a little tip!.I bought a HP NX7000 computer with a similar set up,the only difference being a Centrino chip.No problems with Hoster whatsoever.Then i decided to upgrade my sound output(we all know that the onboard chips are pretty poor).The best solution that i was reccommended was to purchase an Echo Indigo Sound Module to pop into my cardbus slot.So i bought one,put it in and hey presto.... nothing.It turns out that many laptops have an ENE Cardbus controller onboard and this is not compatible to the Echo Indigo.After sending back the card i had to ponder over other solutions for good sound......Firewire or USB ...what a pain i can tell you,so much out there and everybody suggests something different.
Just a little consideration.The Echo Indigo would have been great,it fitted just snug into the laptop.
Now i have a Maya USB and i am frustrated.The background noise from the card & laptop was horrendous,so i had to invest in a Hum Eliminator.What a fuss!.Still you know how it is,we´re always striving for the best for or singers eh!
