Yes I am using old hardware, creative sound blaster live drive. It's a great card with a front panel for inputing various devices, headphones, guitars, midi etc. Although I do used more uptodate PCs, this oldie has this usefull facility, and is hard to get rid of it for this reason.

It's not much use for modern software or games, but it is great for older software and it runs quite well.
