I added Optical audio cable to get better quality sound. The connector fitted into the on board socket but pretty easily to loose if something touches the cable. Probably I need to enforce the connection by using tape later on.

I just added a new sound card for the system. It's the Sound Blaster AE5 Plus. It's worth the stretch. The sound is awesome. I have a separate AE-5 interface sound control for later on possible games. The reason I went for this fancy audio part is the on board port on the back does not produce good sound. I look for sound of somewhere 62Hz, 12dB. I am not a pro in sound but I can feel low quality sound. Well this is a game system, so they use the main audio port connected it to the headset port at the top of the machine. I do not want to rewire it. So that's why the Sound Blaster board(AE5-Plus) came into place.

I think this Sound Blaster Command interface gives me more choices to pick the sound platforms:
