So I was doing some cleaning in the attic and found my old Megaworks speakers and I remember how good they sounded back in the days with a digital connection to my Creative X-Fi sound card.

I'm looking for a sound card that has a digital output on a standard 3.5mm connection as that's the only way to make a digital connection to the speakers. I cant use a x-fi card any more as my pc does not have a PCI slot. All the sound cards I have looked at only seem to have a Toslink digital out which is not good for what I want to do. Does such a sound card exist?

Cheers for the replies guys. Think I'll go with the adaptor option EsaT mentioned as they are really cheap as well.

Also just to mention, When I had the x-fi sound card I got noticeably better sound when using the digital out. Analogue out gave me a lot of hissing on this set of speakers so that's why I was thinking maybe try a digital option again. It's even mentioned in the manual that you may get hum and his noise if using analogue connection.
