I didn't find Loopys audio fixer in Germany, but this should be simular I think: http://bit.ly/OBvDvi

These look nicer and should do the same thing.

USB soundcards are nice because you're not worrying about the interference from inside of the PC really, just interference possible around the USB audio device and the data cable connecting the USB port to the motherboard and then through circuitry to the hard drive, so that's probably the best and most efficient idea, so I think I'd probably go that route if I need a card. Thanks for that idea, I didn't consider it before. It'd probably be best to use a front USBThe ground loop isolator I might buy if I have issues might be one of these on Ebay (search for "ground loop isolator gold" -- no one makes stereo 3.5 ones in gold... odd):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/GROUND-LOOP-ISOLATOR-GOLD-PLATED-CONNECTORS-AUDIO-/230656852561
or
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=108&cp_id=10844&cs_id=1084402&p_id=6909&seq=1&format=2

Granted I'd have to get two other gold plated adapters so I can turn it into stereo 3.5mm, I'd have other applications for even the RCA connections. This would be the highest solution for adapters I believe for those with the extra money and are super serious. Gold plated items make a tremendous difference in reduction.

Still waiting patiently for the chance to send out my 3ds. Does HDMI work for video yet?
HDMI never left beta stages in favor of pushing the USB board, I'm not sure it was entirely stopped or just put on the back burner.
loopy said earlier he was taking orders from this forum so long as we read his whole bit on current bugs and understood the risk. He hasn't responded to my PM offering to buy though, so I'm not sure if I did something wrong, or he's swamped or what.

Sorry, just swamped. I'm slowly getting around to answering all my mail.
Loopy this think looks badass and I really want one. I need to save up some cash though before I can afford it. How hard is this thing to install? I mean I really don't want to have to pay 30 extra dollars just for something that I could do myself. 
I really cannot wait to get one and show off my OoT3D speedrunning skills!

Yeah. I've updated my site with sales info and moved it to a decent host instead of my little Comcast page.

I put a install guide up here. I don't recommend it unless you have experience soldering and think you know what you're doing though. If looking at the install guide makes you nervous, you probably shouldn't try it.
I'm considering removing the option altogether. Dealing with returns and fixing botched installations will be too much trouble.
[edit] Annnnd done. I took the offer down. If someone really wants to and asks me about it, I'll let them, but I'm not gonna advertise it. I sent a few out already, so we'll see how that goes first.

I took a look at your page and saw that it wasn't standards compliant, loopy.
But that's okay. You are not a web developer and no one expects you to be, so I took myself some freedom to change the html to make it standard compliant. Good for everyone, right?
If you want it, here it is:
Great job on those boards, though. Keep up the good work!
