No Line-In Port. Alternatives?

[RedBarchetta85]

I have a 3DS capture card that works great, but I'll soon be using a laptop that doesn't have a Line-In port. Is there another way to record audio?

You could get a "Creative Soundblaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB Audio System with THX SB1095." I can verify it works with Windows 8, 64-bit.

It's pretty rad, not bad...rad.

Thanks for that (and triple_lei too, but this one's cheaper). So you've had no trouble with it and your 3DS capture device? No syncing or sound issues at all? (I presume the 3DS capture software records the audio just as if it were using a built-in line-in?)

I've had it since late December and had no issues with it at all (windows 7 user here). I just plugged it in and it was good to go.

Here's one video I used it with - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3yaIP2D_cs

Keep in mind that I had the volume of the sound device at 60-64, and the 3DS volume slider just under max volume.
