Doing some research it looks like I can use a Radio Shack inline 1/8 
mono to RCA adapter (pn #274-897) and a coax digital cable to connect 
from the digital output on the back of the Audigy 2 ZS to the coax 
digital in on my A/V receiver.

Anyone doing similar with one of these cards to pass DTS/DD signals?
