If so, plug the digital coaxial out of your soundcard into the receiver. Unless it's one of those Creative pieces of trash it'll send relatively the same thing a CD player would.
I just bought
this card so I could use my laptop to listen to Rhapsody on my home theater. The sound is crystal clear, and I no longer have to endure an endless barrage of static and clicking noises through every song as I had previously. I paid about $100 for it and am quite satisfied.
With that in mind, let me just say that not all Creative products (and definitely not the one in my case) are "pieces of trash."
And no, I don't work for them.
