I have the Hoontech daughter board.  I think it was about $37 by the time I got it

physical obstruction on the
sound card. Please check before ordering.

Jim,
First off, thanks for the advice...

My card is coming out of a relatively new gateway with an SBLive!
card, and the reason I don't know much about it is because it isn't mine,
I can't seem to find any other info on it in the device manager, I don't
know what is actually coming out the back.  I'm staying with friends and
unfortunately I don't have any CD devices with me that have optical out.  
If I can get one from this computer, then I can make disks.  I wouldn't
mind I suppose getting some type of adaptor, but only if it is something
that would be useful in the future.  
Do you know if one of the outputs is S/PDIF and might work with a
converter, or any other outboard solution?  I guess the bottom line is if
I can find a way to do this that is cheaper than going out and buying some
boombox, that's great.  Since I'm only staying in my current place for a
few months, I'm not really looking to buy a card for someone else's
computer.  Worst case situation, I'll just have to wait until I can make
more MD's...  :(  
Thanks again...

-=James

 A possible stroke of light though, I seem to recall somwhere back
 a post about using the SB Live to get a digital output.  Was that
 true?

From what I've seen on their web-site, yeah, but I suggest that you (and
possibly a few others here) check out this web-page here.  Go to;
http://www.americas.creative.com/sound/live/ to find out a bit more info.
It certainly suggests that you get a digital I/O port with it though.

You need an optical output header. The most popular one among the MD
community is the Hoontech one (www.hoontech.com), which is relatively
reasonably priced.

You could also build one yourself or buy one from another vendor, but I
don't know of any other vendors which make SBLive optical I/O headers...
