Where can I get a HTPC audio cable??

I have a HTPC equiped with a Soundblaster Live player 5.1 soundcard.

Does anyone know where can I get a cable so I can use digital sound?

The manual for the card doesn't say what the socket size is. It's slightly bigger than a 3.5 headphone socket. Any ideas???

I gather it doesn't have optical out then?

Are SC's available with coax dig out?

Thanks Steve.

The cable I tried must have had a weird sized connector.

When I tried a normal phono lead to 3.5mm plug it worked.

Thanks again.
