On devices such as laptops that only have a headphone jack, is there any option to get better sounding audio? For this specific laptop I have it has USB2, firewire and a parallel/printer port (I saw you can get OPL3LPT for DOS which is cool).
I'm not sure if the firewire port can be used for anything interesting outside of those old TV tuner cards I think, but for USB I'm curious if an adapter that can output over SPDIF could work? Something like this perhaps? I guess it comes down to drivers though. The analog buzz is mainly what I'm trying to avoid, the audio quality itself isn't too bad for 3.5mm otherwise, just wondering if it can be improved.
I don't know too much about the internal soundcard, though it says this on the sticker
