no yuo don't have to tick the digital only option. The digital only option just stops all analog signals from being generated if they are not being used.

Well here is a link to a speaker review that talks about speakers that can use the 6channel PCM Digital only mode on SBlive5.1 and audigy cards: http://www.digit-life.com/articles/inspire5700vsdtt3500/ you have to have special speakers that can handle direct digital multichannel surround...

Well if your lucky enough to have a set of speakers with digital inputs then you would use this option. I have a set of Altec Lansing ATP5's and they have a front and rear digital input. They are a 4.1 speaker set (actually just a 4 channel because they have no seperate base input). I have...

Yea thats a side effect of the spdif passthrough, when your usnig the spdif passthrew it's only sending the Spdif ACM signal from the movie. If you really want your computer sounds to work when your watching a movie you have 2 options: 1 Use the analog connections to your speakers and let the...

Ok First what card are you using?? Thats very important. most of the early Audigy and Live cards had to share the digital out jack with the center/sub jack so you couldn't use them in that type of configuration and needed to have the "Digital out only" option turned on to get the spdif to...

Sorry I clicked the wrong button :P Read the reply above i edited it.:thumbsup:

Ok NightFalcon, You can have 5.1 Digital if your speakers support it, but the 5500s don't support a direct PCM 6 channel signal. (it's been covered in the above replys) As for usinging the analog channels, you can find some fairly good cables at RadioShack. It you have the digital COAX or...

Well Beleive it our not the Digitla port on the Audigy 2 cards has 4 connectors in it. The SPDIF pass threw will only work both Optically and digitally in surround sound mode with a DVD Movie with SPDIF pass threw selected in the options of both the DVD software and the AudioHQ settings in the...

Like i stated above.......(Facts) The regular digital signals are a 2channel PCM format. When SPDIF Pass threw is enabled, The signal becomes a ACM 5.1 Channel compressed signal. (AS Stated ABOVE but in Simpler Terms) The Audigy cards do have 5.1 direct Digital PCM Format available...

Thank you for the Welcome, I'm glad to be of help. Ok I've just finished reading some more info on the z5500 speakers and they only support an ACM (DVD movie or Music) for dgital 5.1 surround sound. so you have to use the analog inputs if you want your gaming in 5.1 suround sound. Thank...

Hey let get few things strait since allot of people are confused on Audigy's Connections. First off Coax conection is only for Digital pass threw to an external dolby decoder. It operates in a 2 ch mode when no dolby signal is provided. The Audigy's Digital out connector is a 3mm 4-pole...
