im hooking it up to a 5.1 yamaha receiver that will be powering two jbl e60s...as far as that is concerned....

what connection will give me the best quality considering the connections i have on my zs2??

my mobo is a msi neo2 platinum...would i be better off using the optical out from that?

and if so, how do i get both the sound card to work at the same time as the mobo, if that is at al possible??

For games in surround you need to use analog out, Creative does not offer Dolby Live for its cards so a digital connection will just be 2-channel stereo not 5.1.

Both will be stereo for games over a digital connector. Both will be the same for music.

For Dolby Live encoding of games to 5.1 for a digital connection you'd need the $80 TB Montego DDL.
