I found the 2008 driver set and then discovered I already had it downloaded from who knows when.
Going to go ahead and put together a system to test it out and possibly do a video review.
Edit: forgot that the 2008 driver was already posted earlier. I think the 2008 was the last release from what I have been able to find.
Edit 2: Just for clarification, the 2004 driver set is just the web release of the drivers on the install CD, so no real need to search for that driver version.
Here are the release notes in the 2008 version:
- Revision History
----------------
v1.00 CD
- Initial release (Bulk only)
- Contains Win9x VxD v4.07.00.2004.
v1.00 Win9x Web
- Web release of Win9x VxD v4.07.00.2004 driver only.
v1.01 CD
- Latin America Localizations
- Front End layout changes
- Contains Win9x VxD v4.07.00.2004.
v1.02 Win9x Web
- Web release of Win9x VxD v4.12.01.2008 driver, AICT, and Update
Wizard.
- Incorporates new Sensaura code.
- Program Group entries for driver, Audio InControl Tools and Update
Wizard all include uninstall option.
- Fixed: Front and Rear speaker outputs are no longer out-of-phase.
Corrects low frequency loss on speaker systems that combine bass
signals into a single sub woofer. (Klipsch ProMedia, etc.)
- Fixed: "Enable S/PDIF" settings are retained after system reboot.
- Fixed: Occasional blue screen error in "CRLDS3D.VXD" while playing
Rogue Spear on some platforms for extended sessions.
Known Limitations
-----------------
1. If S/PDIF is enabled and the system goes into APM sleep mode, upon
resume S/PDIF will be disabled. This issue will be addressed in a
future release. As an interim workaround, open the Audio InControl
Tools panel and close, and the S/PDIF setting will be refreshed.
2. Distorted or "watery" sound on some games (Need For Speed: Porsche
Unleased, etc.). This issue is currently being investigated. Try
disabling the "Enable DirectSound Acceleration" option in the Audio
InControl Tools panel. The application in question should be closed
prior to making this change.

I did find this response from S3 from somebody that contacted them so there may be some newer version than the 2008 version out there:
https://www.avsforum.com/threads/beware-of-di … und-card.74910/
- Dear Valued Customer,
Given S3's recent announcement that it will be shutting down its Diamond Multimedia board businesses, S3 has halted development of newer graphics and audio cards, as well as development of next-generation drivers for the Monster Sound and Sonic Impact audio cards. One final driver release for those products is about to be posted and, while it will resolve some game compatibility issues, it will not add support for any features beyond those already implemented in the drivers that came with your product.
Following that final driver release, we will continue to provide you with technical support and honor the 3 year hardware warranty on your Monster Sound or Sonic Impact product. Should you need assistance with the installation or use of your sound card, please go to our web site at www.s3.com. From there you can access our FAQ files, a searchable knowledgebase, email forms to submit questions and contact info should you need to call us.

Scouring through things, it looks like that may have never happened as the response was posted on September 7, 2000.
