For 5.1 all you need is a mono adapter with a 3.5mm plug on one side and a female RCA on the other. Just use the adapter on one end of your spdif coaxial cable to plug into your Audigy 2zs. Can't help you with 7.1 however as my speakers are 5.1.

McFarlane Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2005 1:58 PM To: PC-Audio Subject: Audigy Digital Out Hi Can someone verify or correct this please? I recently bought a Creative Audigy 2 Zs card which has a digital out socket. My intention was to connect it to my 7.1 amplifier (as I had done previously from my onboard soundcard - coaxial to coaxial) On purchasing the Audigy I discovvered that the digital out is a 3.5mm jack rather than the standard coaxial phono. Questions: 1. What kind of plug should I use (I gather I should get 5.1 stereo out of this digital out so which plug is the best) 2. Should I just use a normal phono to phono and put a mono converter on one end to make it 3.5mm - would a stereo converter be better to get the 5.1 stereo? 3. For 7.1 would I be better using 3.5mm jacks to 2 phonos from the analog outputs or is the coaxial always going to be better? Thanks in advance for any replies.
