Um. 'Cause I'm loopy. See below.

Good luck! :^>

Yeah, yeah. That's because I was confused. The sound box plugs into
the monitor port, and the keyboard and monitor plug into it.

Judging by blackholeinc.com, there are both ADB and non-ADB sound
boxes. They provide (NOT a DSP) a microphone, a speaker, and a
headphone jack (maybe not all of which you have on your machine?),
at the least further removed from the box itself.  And they look
cool.

For me, having one means that I can use just a dimension color
monitor on my dimension cube and use the black and white monitor
with a currently headless 030 cube.

But, while I'm pretty sure it would fix your problem, it's maybe
sounding less nifty as it gets fewer smarts. :^>
