No. USB is too slow on Amigas, and there are no drivers for that equipment.

So, what's being sold via that really long URL is a device to make your laptop generate 5.1 audio for those surround sound speakers you lug around on the back of a mule when you take your laptop places?

It's only 4 speaker virtual surround. How they get away with putting the 5.1 I don't know.

I brought 2 of those, becuase I wanted to use my laptop to record a band live, and brought a couple as a tester to see how the lappy would perform as a 4 track recorder. Problem was, the dongle has a mic jack that can't be configured as line (like I was hoping it might be) , and to make matters worse, it wasn't a stereo input, only mono. I was then equally shocked to find my expensive ASUS laptop, also only had a mono mic and line input. I was a bit annoyed by that.
The sound cards were cheap tho, so no great loss. :-D
Behringer make a nice USB one, but it's more expensive than that, about $60 AUS. :-)
