Either should be fine so long as you are not plugging it into the MD/Tape Recorder Output.



No you are not getting Dolby Digital 5.1 sound.

Using the 3.5mm to RCA converter on the analog out will not give you 5.1 sound, but you can get prologic..In order to get digital sound I think you need to do this: you need to use the 3.5mm Digital output on the SBLive and use a Mono 3.5mm to RCA converter, and plug that into your Digital input on your Yamaha (the cable you have right now might work as well on one of the channels). I've seen this on a soundcards before but i am not sure if this is the case with the SB Live 5.1. At any rate, you need to output a digital signal to the Amp to have it decode the 5.1. You might be able to output all 5 channels from the Soundcard as well and use the channel inputs on the Yammie too, but i am not sure.



No, most likely not.



Well...I have a bracket that came with my motherboard...it has SPDIF and a Coaxial outputs....can i use any one of these...if i'll use it..i'll have to diable the soundblaster card and activate the ONBOARD audio..
