OK, my Audigy 2 has a digital out on rear, and it has analog outs too...
I connected using minijack to dual RCA to connect digitaly to Marantz SR6300 receiver.(just one rca is in receiver).
IT WORKS. AM I HAPPY - NO!

Sound using CMS Player is awful and lacking in dynamics and detailompared to winamp and POWER DVD.(mp3's)
When using EAX effects sound gets either way too crisp or it gets distorted.
Sound in games tends to output half of the effects while others heard on headphones are way too quiet.
I set output to 96khz(Marantz is 24/192khz)
I set digital output only.
I set the SPDIF-passthrough mode.
I dont seem to get 5.1 sound from some games.

Please tell me if i did this connection right, and what should I do?
How to connect it opticaly( I have no audigy drive)?
THANKS

mabye the sources your using are lacking and not the equipment the marantz is goin to show all the problems in a poorly encoded mp3 if your buring cds to your comp for listing and using windows media or sumpinelse use the highes encoding bit rate usally around 192kbs and if you have the space use windows media player lossless audio codec whic will give you the best sound and if your usin linux i made the switch a lil while ago use FLAC (free lossless audio codec)

4th issue you presented not all games have surround sound support
