| I have never used the digital out from the Creative Live soundcard, and
don't
| know what is required to utilise it.

Using the digital out will require you to purchase a digital decoder (money,
money, money). Adv. is that you get less line noise, hence better quality.
you wouldn't notice the difference from a well sheilded analogue setup.

Remember when looking at audio, ignor the PMPO wattage rating (often
plastered accross the front of the box in big writing), and see if you can
find the RMS instead. PMPO will only tell you how much electricity you can
run thru the device before it catches fire (not usefull). The RMS rating
will tell you what level of power it can handel without distorting the
sound.

if ur interested in quality, keep an eye out for the signal-to-noise (SNR)
ratio too.

cheers,
-James
