[Elecraft] line IN and OUT on new computer

[Josh]

Specs say Audio 1.0 so I wonder if it works with the generic USB driver?

MF has a 30 day no questions return policy. So, you could send it back if it's not supported.

While I'm assuming most built-in laptop soundcards can provide the 48kHz DVD quality playback/recording you need for programs like WSJT-X, you definitely will have that in many of the external soundcards.     I use a Sound Blaster SBX proaudio soundcard I got a Amazon for around $60-65.  I've used it with my IC-715, and KX3 without any issues.
