A possible cheap fix for the External Mic

[fristys]

Hi guys,
I really love how my ProBook turned out and I'd like to personally thank the guy who built the DSDT. I have no problems whatsoever, except for the dodgy Bluetooth(something I don't really care about) and the External Mic.

Since I still do podcasts on a weekly basis, the non-working External mic kinda' bugs me. So I decided to search for a cheapskate way out of the only problem I really have with my Hackintosh and I found this USB Sound card on DealExtreme, which says it's "Driver-free installation when used with modern Operating Systems" and "Supports Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista/Linux/Mac OS" :

Do you think it'll make it work ?

I bought something like that for my previous Hackintosh Laptop (sound didn't work at all) and it worked with Leopard but after a month suddenly stopped (it was just broken, it didn't work with windows as well )Then I found soulution for sound problems and I forgot about it ;] You probably know it but don't expect good quality from $2 usb soundcard

You'd be surprised how much I got out of a 10$ Capture card I got off the same website, hell it still works

It should work OTB and you can buy 3-4 of them just in case
