I know the SS4's had a sound module, but I think that was specific to that
model only. I don't recall ever hearing about an SBus sound card.
I'd agree with Martin- it would be better to put your effort into an LX than
try to squeeze blood out of an (IPC/IPX) turnip.

I've never heard of an SBus sound card, and it's sure to be more
expensive than an LX, which comes with a much faster CPU and
16-bit stereo PCM audio... It'll even take the IPX RAM as long
as it's 60ns and you have matched pairs.
I've seen LX bases as low as $55.
