The socket you refer to is an output, intended for connection to a
Creative "digital amplifier". You will probably find that one of the 3.5mm
sockets is an SPDIF output, you will need an adaptor to connect a phono
plug to that. You won't have a digital *input* on an SB card unless you
have an add-on, such as the "Live Drive" module.

Just having a quick look online, I think my card in fact is a SB Live Value.

Sound Blaster Live! and Live! Value
The Live! and Live! Value are the original releases of the Live! family.
The Live! Value (also known as Live! 1024) is identical to the full Live!
with the exception that it has color coded plastic connectors instead of
gold and does not include the extended digital I/O card. The original Sound
Blaster Live! had a proprietary 9-pin mini-DIN connector for digital output
that Creative referred to as the "Mini Din." This connector allowed the use
of a microphone and digital speakers at the same time. This can not be done
with the value and base models of all subsequent Creative sound cards, as
they share a single port for S/PDIF digital in/output and microphone
connectivity. The Mini-DIN connection was not included in any subsequent
Sound Blaster product, however owners of speaker systems that use this as
the only digital input may buy an adapter from Creative.


I'll have to check when I get home but I'm sure it has no digital out.
