Google Breakaway Audio Enhancer and read about it.

For some unknown reason, it does not work very well for me. I have tried numerous setting changes and nothing seems to fix the problems I've had. I get from no audio to garbled audio.

I've tried multiple setting that have been recommended here to no avail!

Re: Karaoke with Laptop only???

The external USB card (like the Lexicon) is a pro quality sound card that will make an mp3 (with all it's wavy artifacts) sound a lot closer to the original recording. I have not heard a system yet that hasn't been improved in a side by side comparison that is just using the stock sound card.

Here's a sale on the model that Lonman is suggesting... ( I bought one a few years back, on his learned opinion & experience ) You won't be dissappointed!

Great, thanks.

I was already checking that one out from a music gear forum,
so it seems to be a fairly popular piece of equipment.

Same here on three other computers, and friends on forums that have also stated they cannot get it to work "Properly" with Hoster and/or other DJ programs.
