    Post SBlive value with digital out

    I have ACS56, and digital out on my SBlive value doesn't work with it...
    (front/rear... all of em doesn't work)
    So, I'm stuck with analog (and damn hisssssssssssssssssssssssssss)

    2200mhz @ stock v-core (200 X 11)
    2300mhz @ 1.75v (200 X 11.5)
    2400mhz @ 1.95v (200 X 12.0)

    Going higher than 2400mhz is near impossible with air cooling.

    The Digital DIN minijack on the SB Live Value only works with Cambridge Soundworks speakers, like my DTT2500!

    sound is more crisp and more accurate because of near 0 distortion. But if you get nice analog speakers with nice wires and interconnects, you get relatively the same quality!

    Unhappy

    i have a soundblaster live value sound card...
    where is this din mini jack that you are talking about and where is the spdif out that i heard about before?
    from the 5 jacks in the back, the yellow one is the digital output jack...right?....i am thinking about getting soundworks digital speakers and that uses SPDIF so where would i plug that in???....also an RCA bracket comes along with the speakers, do i use that or what?
    on the SB site it says the sb live value card has spif out but can someone point out exactly where that is? (maybe i have an older version of the card)

    Question

    Did you enable the digital out? I think this is done via volume control (I think under advanced properties)?
