I've been looking for a way to get clean audio out of my Pentium 3 onto my main speakers/headphones that are connected to my gaming PC. The solution I came up with is to use an optical out board from Gigabyte connected to the Audigy and a Startech USB audio device to get the optical sound into my gaming pc. It works VERY nicely, audio is clean, no more noise or feedback like I was experiencing with analog audio from the P3.
Devices used:
Soundblaster Audigy SB0090
Gigabyte GC-SPDIF
Startech 7.1 USB External Sound Card (part #ICUSBAUDIO7D)
6 ft. optical cable
Anyway here's some pics of the hardware and a pic I found online showing the pins to use on the Audigy with this header.
