Hi
I have built a HTPC and am using the Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim soundcard
I have my original Creative Gigaworks S750 7.1 channel speakers. These do not have any optical or spdif input
How do I get the spdif out of the Asus Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim sound card to connect to my creative 7.1 speakers.
Do I
#1. need to invest in some AV receiver like Onkyo (which I am happy to do). What cable do I need?
or
#2. Which converter do I need to buy
or
#3. Is there a cable only solution to this that can convert spdif out on ASUS sound card to Gigaworks S750 inputs
All help will be highly appreciated
Many thanks in advance

My HTPC specs are :
Core 2 Quad Q9650, 8GB, ATI Radeon 7xxxx series graphics driver.
All my HD movies are folder rips on external hard drives
I am attaching the pictures as well :
Creative Gigaworks S750 connection panel:
Creative Gigaworks S750 to Audigy 2 ZS sound blaster cable:
On the LEFT are connectors for sound card (ignore these as they go to Audigy 2 ZS) and on the right is the connections that go into the Creative Gigaworks S750 panel above
