I have Logitech Z680 Speakers (http://www.techtastic.ca/reviews4/z680.html). The first thing I want to know, about how far apart should the front speakers be (in feet or inches?) from the center speaker (which should be behind my monitor, right?). And how many feet apart should the two back speakers be?
Next thing, I want to hook my speakers up through digital output so I can get the full effects rather then regular RCA jacks, the speakers have connections for both Digital Optical and Digital Coax. And, I have a Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card.
Which cables would I need to buy and how does this all get hooked up via digital cables? My sound card only has hook up for RCA jacks; so I'm assuming that I would have to get this: Newegg.com - TRIPP LITE A060-006 RF Digital Coax Audio Cable 6' - Retail which is a digital coax cable.
There are three wires right now. Green, black, and yellow. My sound card has four hookups (for green, black, and yellow, mic). Does this digital cable replace the green wire (which is the main)?
Thanks
