My old but still good SB Live! 5.1 (model SB0100) has done me good for 4 years. But I do not have the Live Drive thing, so I have it running in Quad Stereo :?
I just got a nice little Yamaha 5.1 system, it should be a great lil 5.1 system, perfect for PC use or my XBox (original).

and I want a new sound card that supports Optical out. I seen that the SB Audigy/X-FI can do this but you need the Live Drive thing.
I want a card with the Optical out on the card. I didnt see any SB's that had it on the card. Is it worth the extra $ for the Live Drive thing? can I get a cheeper card and buy the drive on ebay?
Or do you have other recommendations?
