Any one try these yet?
BXT USB Stereo Audio/MIC Sound Card - http://www.buyextras.com/asusbstausoa.htm
There 7 bucks so I ordered one, seems like a super easy almost guaranteed way to get some audio working.. they also have a 7.1 surround sound version for a extra dollar.

I ordered the 2 channel version, for testing.. I assume it will work as its USB.. I'll report back with results.
This is for my Dell xps400, I can't for the life of me get the factory audio working.. others say they have, even tried there linux dumps and even dumped my own.. still cant get it to work... so this is the simple solution to the problem.. or so we shall see.
I also just found out that this is mac compatible via the discussion on this Amazon page.. I may just order this for the added inputs.
