i am interested in buying in audigy but i've noticed that all the connections were 1/8 headphone plugs and was wondering what cables it comes with?
most likely i will getting an oem version..

so please tell me if you have purchased an oem (also where u purchased it from if u dont mind)or retail and what cables it came with.
also do all of them come with the joypad midi plug? as a daughter card?

the one i am most interested is for the digital out , and if it came wiht digital out cable.

I have an OEM version and I don't think it gives you any cables. No extra software, just the plain installation. Purchased from Newegg for $61 bucks. And yes, it does come with Digtal Out. If you look at a picture of the Sound Card, the orange plug is a S/PDIF connection which is like Digital Out.

My retail version came with the that,but you don`t need to use it,I`m using USB gamepad controllers so did not bother with installing the Audigy joypad bracket connector.

OEM you normally only get card and drivers that`s it.

My retail version(Audigy player) which`s European version of Audigy Gamer, I received one game (Giants ),digital audio CD lead,joyport bracket,Audigy card and drivers software & installation manual. No digital out cable,but there` a digital out connector on the card.

I have the OEM version from newegg. It came with a gameport on a separate bracket, and no cables other than the one to connect the gameport to the card.

The retail version doesn't come with any cables, either.

But Radio Shack has a huge assortment of reasonably priced cables and adapters that work just fine.

I also believe the connectors on the OEM version are not gold plated like on the retail versions, no big deal really.

That is correct but the only impact is that they look different - they don't sound any different.
