A friend has a broken volume dial on her laptop, sound no longer works on either headphones or speakers. I found this little gadget on ebay:

What do you guys think of it? Or do you know of a more trustworthy brand device?
Pretty much needs to be USB, PCMCIA slot is already taken
That would be ok if quality isn't an issue. Its gonna sound terrible. Then again the cheapest alternative I could find was £60 on scan.
I use one of the creative external sound cards (the mp3+) and it hooks over the lid of the laptop - excellent sound quality. This one or the 24bit external sell on ebay for around £15
One of these?Quote:

I cant find what you're describing, do you have a link to an auction?
Yeah i am concerned about the quality, shes no audiophile but i think it could be an issue...then again it only has to match her current laptop's audio card that could have been crap tooQuote:

It plugs into the slot at the side of 99% of laptops(normally known as a pcmcia(or something like that) slot/card.
I have one of these and quality is brilliant.
That one is maybe a bit more sophisticated than your friend needs, one of these would work a treat:Quote:

I bought one on ebay a few weeks ago for £11 plus postage.
The PCMCIA slot of the laptop in question is already occupied with a wirless card. Thats why i think the only option is USBQuote:

Does the laptop have firewire?
