Sound blaster makes a couple. The newer ones only have optical out or an 1/8th inch jack, the older ones have RCA outs. About the size of 2 decks of cards side by side. I caught a sale direct from SB on the older ones and bought 3 for $50 shipped. I don't use the disk (just throw it in a drawer) XP recognized and setup in about 30sec. Nice clean sound. It is USB powered which eliminates any potential hum from the venue's bad wiring or neon transformers.

I also have used a small USB that looks about the size of a thumb drive(no name china brand). Not quite as clean, but better than the headphone jack.

I use them on desktop and backup laptop.
