I am currently a PC user and just ordered my first Powerbook. It is the new 15.2/1.67 Powerbook and I ordered another 1 gig of ram for it. My question is how good is the built in sound card for these Powerbooks. I have a Dell Inspiron laptop now that I had to buy a Audigy 2 PMCIA card for due to the awful distortion when listening to movies with headphones. I thought the problem was crappy headphones so I bought a nice set of Sennheiser HIFI headphones but it didn't fix it. Only the new sound card did.

Will i need to buy a sound card for this since I Sound Blaster isn't supported by Mac? Is the sound card that is built in a pretty good card?

Thanks everyone.

I've never had any problems with sound (headphones or speakers) with any of my powerbooks and i've played movies, had video/audio chats and used itunes with a variety of headphones.
