The Quadra 900 and 950 (but not the 700) have sterio rca input jacks.  In
order to use these, one must open the Sound controll panel, select
"built-in" sound, click on "Options", and then select "External audio". 
This will provide a far superior sound to that obtained via the microphone
port, and I have found the results when using the built-in audio to be much
better then when using the audio capabilities of the Radius Video Vision
Card.
