I alkready break 2 or 3 Logitech Unifying Receivers every year, don't really need something else hanging out the side. When you put your laptop in and out of your bag a dozen times a day, it's easy to forget to remove dongles, thumb drivers, etc. once in a while. | |

You could also try to boot-up a Linux distribution on a USB stick. Also, the audio chipset is embedded on the mainboard, there is nothing to check internally. If the audio hardware is bad, a replacement mainboard is likely the only fix. | |
