[Elecraft] External sound card advice needed to attach to K3

[Rick Bates, NK7I]

I disagree, most users are not adept at the trivia in the drivers, so 
the chances of errant audio (monitor the microphone locally check mark) 
increases the risk of transmitting 'garbage'.

The user also loses the benefits provided by the OS sounds (as said in 
another email here on the list).

The average ham radio costs at least hundreds of dollars to buy, an 
adequate sound card is under $10-20.  It's not an economic strain.  The 
cost of wire for a simple antenna, costs much more.

Many newer radios come with a sound device built in; just use that and 
let the OS do things as designed for audio.
