OK i have a soundblaster live 24bit and i was woundering if i could just use like a 3.5mm headphone jack (mono) to RCA in the digital out port to get coxial out for an A/V reciever? would this work?

what i did was take on old RCA cable, chopped the ends off and split the 2 and only used one, and soldered on a mono 1/8 plug i bought from radioshack, then it was done. or you can buy a lil plug thing from radioshack that is just a mono plug with a RCA jack on the back, and hook your rca cable up in there.

you need the 2nd one on the list and I'm pretty sure you'll get coaxial spdif then and it should work with your receiver.

Ya that should work. Did the same thing on an old SB Live card. Just remember to set the output in Windows to be digital output. Typically this is a shared plug with the center/lfe channel when in analog.

on the SB Live 24bit its a shared plug with Mic In, line in, and digital I/O

Well I got one of those RCA to 1/8" plugs as well but it didnt work. Just silence when I turned on digital.

thats great.... I HATE CREATIVE.... good products but they need to include all the documentation and hookups.
