I'm interested in getting into HF PSK-31 and RTTY. And maybe I'll try
some of the other sound card based modes too. Comes the question of
how I should configure the dedicated ham station Winbox. Is there
anything to be gained by spending money on say some Creative Labs or
Turtle Beach sound card or another or are the usual generic
motherboard "sound cards" good enough . . ?

Thanks,

If the card or on-board system is "SoundBlaster Compatible," and made
within the last 5 or 6 years, it should be OK. I have used PSK with many
computers and cards and have never had one that didn't work because of
the sound card. Put your money toward a good interface. It's hard to
beat the RigBlaster line. I have never used one, but I have heard good
reports about the the MFJ interfaces.
