Just don't leave thinking a Soundblaster Value has the same latency capabilities of a higher end dsp card. Latency is one of the most common reasons to get a semi-pro card. Anyone who thinks of buying a decent card should demand atleast one left and one right output. You don't buy a $250-$1000 card with a single stereo mini-plug.
Don't let people think you can get better recording results with a SB card, just because you lack the knowledge. This forum is or used to be full of latency questions. Alot of the times people were using gaming soundcards.
Years ago I used to hook up two BOSS MA-12 powered speakers to my SB with the help of a cable-adapter. One stereo out to two line inputs.
