nope...more from music
then just get a 3.5mm to RCA converter from radioshack and a digital coax or composite video cable to go to the receiver.
ok i got wat u ment by 3.5 mm to RCA converter cable... why do i need digital coax/composite video cable?? don't the RCA red and white cables go into the red and white audio inputs on my home theatre receiver already?
If you want to connect to the Red/White analog inputs on your receiver, you'll only get stereo sound from the computer from music an movies. You'll also be connecting to the analog audio output of your soundcard.
If you want to connect digitally, you'll connect to the digital output of your soundcard and then you'll need to change the output connection so that you can plug it into the digital coaxial input on your receiver (a single RCA connection)
To do this, you can either get a long cable with the appropriate connection types at each end (3.5mm and RCA) or you can just get a small adapter and then use a digital coax/composite video cable to connect from that adapter to your receiver.
For example, you could use

and then you'd need to plug in a single RCA cable to the adapter and then run the other end to your receiver's digital coaxial input.
Before you buy anything though, we should make sure that a stereo 3.5mm connection to 2xRCA will give you a digital coaxial signal on one of the RCA connections. It worked on a different card for me, but I don't remember if Creative did something with their connection so that only a mono 3.5mm connection to 1xRCA will work.
