Hi I just bought a creative T7700 with decoder dts-100
And my question is How can I connect the decoder to my laptop
I onli have a 3.5mm jack

You need a 3.5mm to RCA cable then connect that to the RCA inputs on the DDTS-100

Yes I know about that
But thats analog signal is that right?
I want to use digital
Do I meed to buy usb sound card with digital out and connect it to the digital in on the decoder

You will need a digital audio out from the laptop to use that external card.
Or you could get one with USB
