question about Logitech z-5500 and Creative SB X-FI Sound card

Well I have the Logitech z-5500 as I want to scare the neighbors! The only problem is that it only comes with a direct style connection (not sure of the exact terminology) and my brand spanking new Creative Sound Blaster x-fi sound card has a digital in/out on it. (It has an optical option)

Now when I used the direct color coded cables that came with the speakers, I can get a 6 channel direct sound mode that is not all the bad. However, I was the best I can get with my setup. I have an optical cable, but when I connect the optical cable into the speaker system and my PC, nothing happens and it does not recognize a digital connection.

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone else have a Logitech z-5500 that is hooked up with a digital connection? I am so frustrated and confused with technology right now it is ridiculous!

thanks for the help
 
Mine just works fine with the digital in. Obviously you're changing it's input to digital yeah?! Just checking.

If not it'll be a problem with the sound card - you might have to to turn it on in the creative software.

If not, maybe you've got one of the many dodgy sets of z5500s out there
