You don't need an adaptor unless there's something else (e.g. a capacitor) blocking the addition 4-pin part of the 24-pin connector from PSU.
Yeah so I found out and asked for confirmation here, which I got. Unfortunately there was a cap on one side and a coil on the other side blocking it, can't remember which side the 4-pin part is (left?) but either way it was blocked.
Edit: Oh and there is a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 on its way to replace the SBLive! that turned out to be a dud. It was sold as tested and the seller is reputable, so I guess I'm good there, I just hope the drivers will play nicely. If not, I'll put it in my next build (rabbit hole deepens) and hunt down a Aureal Vortex 2 for the Win98 build.
