In the past I had an XP machine, it had an audigy card that I installed the web drivers for, it worked with analog audio, but digital didn't work and I didn't see a way to change it to digital. Found the audigy cd, installed it and was able to select digital out and then digital speakers worked.

I tried installing an audigy se in a windows vista machine I tried the cd but it wouldn't run so I installed the vista drivers from the creative website and the card got recognized and it worked with analog headphones but when I plugged in the digital speakers I got nothing. I've tested the speakers on another computer that had windows 98 and digital out and that worked fine. Is there somewhere in vista that you can go to specify that you want digital out instead of analog? Also is there any way to do this in XP without the creative cd?

Haha, does that mean that getting digital audio out on Vista is not possible until Creative creates a cd that will work for Vista? Why do the web drivers not let you choose digital audio out as an option?
