HP/Compaq Laptops & External Audio

I know a few of you have HP & Compaq laptops and so what I
want to ask is whether any of you use USB/Firewire based
external soundcards?

The on board controllers seem universally rubbish for audio
and no matter what you do you get clicks and pops in the
stream...more when you are trying to record audio in.

I switched all my applications to one I had spare and it has
been a total waste of time. Because I thought I had set
everything up I resorted to the "internet" to see if anyone
could give me any advice and the message seems the same
everywhere...HP are cack.

If you are looking at buying a laptop for music making, and
you will want to use an external sound card, make sure it's
not an HP/Compaq.

I have an HP Compaq and... I have no idea what you're
talking about :)

However, I can testify that HP are cack - my daughter broke
the connector of my laptop powerpack, and HP have started
using a very specific thing that plugs into the laptop, so I
couldn't buy a generic one, but spent three weeks trying to
get one, as HP themselves don't stock them at all.
