W7WW and I both tried to use the USB Sound Box recommended by
AA5AU (Star Tech ICUSBAUDIO7D). It worked fine for both of us
for receiving RTTY. However, we both experienced RFI on the
sound output when using that unit for high power SSB
transmitting. I'll sell mine for $25, shipped. Paypal OK. Like
new, in original Box, with driver/applications CD.

Ron,
These days its far easier to use a USB "card" for the second
sound
device.
AA5AU uses this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829128010
I generally recommend one of these since they have separate mic
and
line inputs for use with N1MM Logger and Writelog. The second
one
is identical to the one AA5AU uses but priced $10 less.

It is getting more difficult to find reliable PCI bus sound cards
with both mic and line inputs. Even the old standby Creative
Labs
no longer has the separate inputs in their inexpensive PCI and
PCI-E
cards.
