I have a couple quick questions:

I have a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMIA Sound Card and am currently just running a headphone to rca converter to my receiver. My receiver has an optical in jack, and for $15-25 I can get the Soundblaster Digital I/O Module and switch to optical. Does that make sense to do? Am I going to hear any difference in quality?


Also, I have a passive 150w 15" subwoofer running from my receiver to my speakers (Cerwin Vega D-3s). I really would like to be able to use the subwoofer jack on my reciever, and I would also like to have more control over the sound coming out my speakers. I have thought about maybe getting a subwoofer amplifier and hooking it up to the sub so that the sub would be active, would that be feasible? Is there some sort of audio device I can buy that will do what I want?

And lastly, I have a sharp tv that has a broken cable jack. So I run my cable through my jvc vcr. I also have a jvc receiver. I have a remote for the tv which "works" with the vcr, and I mean works as in it has a button for vcr channel up and vcr channel down. The remote of course does not work with the receiver. I do have a remote for my receiver which is nice, and it "works" with my jvc vcr but can only turn it off and on. This remote does not work with my tv. The question that I am getting to, after all that information, is there a universal remote that will work with my reciever, my vcr and my tv? And if there isnt, or if it would just cost a ton, what is a good cheap universal remote that will work with my vcr and my tv 100%?
