Fair enough, I certainly haven't used that many laptops, that's why I
chose
the words "I know of ......"
A further problem though, is most inbuilt laptop sound cards have quite
poor
performance (THD, S/N etc), regardless of maximum sample rate. Once again
there may be exceptions. Easy enough to buy an external device in any
case.
