Hi Oleg,
actually I have a usb M Audiophile and I had all sorts of problems with distortion. I'm assuming I must have something set incorrectly.
I gave up after I got the ASIO4All driver working.
Actually the sound out of my laptop's soundcard is pretty good. I've got the audio out connected to the audio in on my clp170 piano.
I might try getting the audiophile set up again and see if I can hear much difference

best wishes
Rikki.

If you want good sound without distortion you would have to invest into an external sound card (Firewire, USB or PCMCIA). There are no laptops with internal soundcards that can produce audio that sounds good. I recommend M-Audio firewire Audiophile(around $250). If there is no firewire connection on the laptop then use M-Audio Audiophile USB (around $200).
