Hi Mate,

Does your amp support optical  connections?  If so you might want to
purchase a 3.5Inch to Optical cable.  You can get them at most good computer
or music shops.  You could also try a 3.5Inch plug to rca socket adapter as
well.  I don't think it would matter if this adapter was mono or stereo but
I'd go with mono myself.  Maybe just get one of each as these adapters are
pretty cheap.

Subject: Audigy Digital Out

Hi
Can someone verify or correct this please?
I recently bought a Creative Audigy 2 Zs card which has a digital out 
socket. My intention was to connect it to my 7.1 amplifier (as I had done 
previously  from my onboard soundcard - coaxial to coaxial)  On purchasing 
the Audigy I discovvered that the digital out is a 3.5mm jack rather than 
the standard coaxial phono.

Questions:

1. What kind of plug should I use (I gather I should get 5.1 stereo out of 
this digital out so which plug is the best)

2. Should I just use a normal phono to phono and put a mono converter on one

end to make it 3.5mm - would a stereo converter be better to get the 5.1 
stereo?

3. For 7.1 would I be better using 3.5mm jacks to 2 phonos from the analog 
outputs or is the coaxial always going to be better?

Thanks in advance for any replies.
