I want to connect my PC w/ SB Audigy to my Onkyo Dolby Digital Receiver Digital Coaxial so I may enjoy my PC files on my surround sound TV system. What cable do I need to connect the SPDIF to the receiver to enable Dolby Digital on the receiver's end, and how do I enable the SPDIF out on the Audigy soundcard? Thanks for the assist!

You need a digital coax cable and then get an RCA female to 1/8" mono male adapter jack from radio shack and put that into your sound card.

You need a coaxial cable with RCA connectors on the end. I'm not sure if the audigy requires an RCA -> 1/8 minijack adapter, or whether or not it accepts the RCA end. Basically, you just need the coax cable with RCA ends, and you gotta put one end into the audigy s/PDIF out, and the other into your onkyo, then switch to the proper port.
