How do everyone! I've been wanting a soundcard for a long time that has an optical output, anyone know of any converters or cards going around at the moment? Chars, Daed.

I had an SB Live with an additionl 5-1/4" bay drive that would accept optical connections on the bay.
Yeah I have heard of that, what I don't get is what its inputs are.
I'll have a look now I think!

cheers
I have the same thing. I have the "SB Live Drive 2" model - it has: SPDIF in/out, Optical in/out, RCA in, MIDI in/out, Headphone and Microphone.

I believe later ones come with an infrared remote control as well.
Yeah, that would be cool, but I have a shuttle pc, and no room for extra drive bays unfortunately.

I've had a look around, and currently have my eye set on the "Live! 24-bit External SB".

...Or I might be tempted to just go large, and get the SB Audigy 4 Pro.

Hmm, not sure! ...Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanx Daed.
If you're gonna buy, buy up. However, what are you planning to use this for? The Audigy cards are great for gaming and home/hobby use, but aren't known as favorites for pro work.
This is for gaming and generally pissing the neighbours off. Am definitely looking forward to it :P
A modern extigy should do you fine then.
