Hello all, I've been reading throughout the forums and have yet to figure out how to hook up an Audigy 2 ZS sound card to play games and whatnot in full 5.1. I already know that I can use a MINI to 2x RCA to use 2.1. Is this possible? My sound card also has digital out, is there a specific cable I need? If so, please post a link to one.

I do not currently have my HT system but I plan to buy a Fluance AV-HTB, maybe a Dayton 10" sub or another value sub, and still have yet to decide on a reciever. Thank you in advance for all responses.

Your soundcard has digital out. I think it is the 3.5millimeter type - the smallish ones you plug speakers into. You need a converter from that to either optical digital (toslink) or coaxial digital. Not sure which though.
