Toslink-only Soundcard

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

I'm looking for an inexpensive internal PCI sound card that has only a
single toslink output and nothing else. Surround capabilities would
be nice but aren't necessary. An analog input would be fine but I
want to keep it simple and inexpensive - none of that SoundBlaster
"our cards have outputs AND inputs in every conceivable format" stuff.
Any suggestions?

Thanks. I'll look into. When I posted this question, I had a certain
sound card in mind that I had once seen online but couldn't find the
web page again. I just found it again and saw that the card was a
Zoltrix Nightingale.

out that the card itself doesn't have Toslink outputs but you can buy
a daughter card for it. I wish there such a think as a sound card
with only an optical out and an analog in (for when I capture video.)
Oh well. Thanks for your help.
