Need advice on mixer for laptop

[ALAN E NORTH]

I went through this about a year ago and some of you were able to help me get this thing going. I was able to order a Soundblaster mixer and get it to work under Vista.

I now have Windows 7, I have lost the file that enabled it to work under Vista and I am willing to just forget the whole thing and buy something new that does work.

I am not a KJ. I want to use my laptop for occasional home parties. I haven't used it in about a year. I am running Hoster Lite.

It would be appreciated if somebody could steer me in the direction of a reasonably priced mixer that would enable me to hook up a mic to my laptop and have all the sound come out on a TV screen.

Thanks,

Alan

Have a look at this one:

This is only an idea for a cheap mixer, I don't have any knowledge of it's use.

I moved this to Singers & Hosts Wisdom as it is not a question about Hoster itself.

Roy,

Thanks for your advice. I checked the site and it appears to fit my needs exactly-except that the ad says that it is for XP and Vista only. I know that what runs on Vista will usually run on Windows 7 also-but to be sure I sent an E mail to ACE.

So far, no reply. Hope it works-because this item sure seems to fill the bill for me.

Thanks Again,

Al North

Have you tried the Soundblaster web page to see if they have a file to make the mixer work under Windows 7?

I have previously tried contacing Creative. They said that my mixer was obsolete and though they tried to help me, nothing worked-so I am willing to just get something new and not have to keep bothering people about it.

The unit that Roy Denniks suggested seems to be perfect for me-if it will work under Windows 7. I am still waiting for a reply from Ace.

I may call them tomorrow if I don't get an E mail reply.
