You are not "stuck with" whatever sound device the laptop comes with at all.

There are USB sound devices that you can purchase and use with the laptop.

M-Audio makes the FastTrack Pro line, known to work and play well with pgmusic products.

For Playback Only, (no multitrack recording and no recording of acoustic tracks) - the internal sound device in the modern laptop proves to be very worthy indeed - no need to purchase additional sound device for the purpose of amplifying the laptop for use in live performance or practice sessions at all. This is due to the widespread interest in using the laptop to view DVDs or listen to music, the mfr's have responded with much better playback DACs and the like but have been slow to include the Recording side of things that are of audiophile quality. The Earphone Jack on the modern laptop can be used as a stereo Line Out for amplifying via PA, home stereo system, etc. Resulta have been always very clean indeed.
