I decided to get excitable tonight and get the best of both worlds by using the digital/Analog-out on our 'Live 5.1' to connect to our home theatre's phono-in.

It goes from mini-stereo jack on the pc through a convertor to 2 RCA jacks.

Anyway, unless I use creatives software to force the sound to the digital/analog jack I get no sound whatsoever. When I do force it I receive an extremely garbed output. When looking things over I decided to check if it was just that connection by using the line-out usually connected to the computer-theatre, but to no avail. While there was sound, it sounded just as the digital/analog jack had, very garbled.

Anybody good with the connections?

I would try a specialty site, but I was hoping to not have to go 'too far from the type of folk I understand'.
