Something isn't right there. You should also have a line in...

Two digital outputs? Are you sure about that? Digital out only uses a 
single output. A "Gamer" card should have only a single digital out, 
and definitely should also have a line in. Double-check that.

Regardless of what *should* be on the card, everything *can* be done 
using the Mic port (though using Line in is better). It sounds like you 
need to revisit the documentation again.

The long and short of it is that you have to mute your Mic port and set 
it as the capture source.
