m-audio sound card help

[pharaoh tay]

I have an M-Audio sound card hooked up to my PC and to the mixer. I want to hook an amp up but I was told that I needed an octave cable if I want digital. Is it possible to do that with the m-audio or do I need to buy a different sound card. I’ve been checking out the EMU sound card incase I needed to change sound cards.

Also, if I don't have the receipt, I can sell the m-audio sound card to guitar center right? If so, any guess on how much they'd buy it for?

Thanks for the help.

Depends on your soundcard. Go to www.m-audio.com and check it out.

Guitar Center may or may not buy your gear but if they do, don't expect much. They don't pay.

Who told you to get an "octave cable"?

^ it's actually called the "m-audio, boss" (audiophile 2496) and i meant obtical cable, not octave cable.

So what EXACTLY do you want to do with it? You want to connect a power amp to the digital outs? The card has a SPDIF (DIGITAL COAXIAL) I/O this is different from OPTICAL/TOSLINK

ya, i want to connect a power amp but i was told that i needed an obtical cable to connect the amp with my sound card (that's what i was told). i have my mixer connected to the sound card but i want more power so i can get a full feel of the music. i was thinking of purchasing a home sound system. is there another way i can connect the amp to my sound card?

thanks heresy.
