Yes, both the analog and digital outputs are connected and the system (mac) sees both. If I go to the Sound preferences panel, or if I hold down the option key and click on the sound icon in the menu bar (thanks to someone for that hint), both analog and digital options appear. I can choose either one, and both of them work. But in iTunes, I do not see the icon to the right of the volume slider. At one time (weeks or months ago) I did, but not now.
