external sound card to notebook

[harakorinos]

Dear friends,

I own an internal soundcard VIA in my laptop, which does not work properly with Windows Netmeeting and MSN Messenger. Basically, the problem is, that when I try to have a voice conversation with the above programs, my sound goes soon out of order and then I can also not hear anything at all, until I restart...
I have shown in http://store.pcpowerzone.com/crlausbsompe.html the external sound card: Creative Labs USB SOUNDBLASTER MP3+ EXTERNAL Sound Card System w/ CMSS. I am wondering if this will be completely compatible with Windows Netmeeting and MSN Messenger.

The characteristics of my notebook are:
Acer Aspire 1300 (1302XC)
AMD Athlon XP 1600+
256MB SDRAM
Op. System: Win XP Prof. English

Please help!!
Thanks!

Hey, have you tried updating the drivers to the sound card, or maybe check Acer's website or VIA's website for bug fixes?
