s/pdif is not meant for 2.1 systems.it is meant for 5.1 & higher systems so leave it.also using s/pdif requires configuring it correctly in player software as well as system settings & if you don't know what you are doing you will face a lot of issues.

i meant to say forget about s/pdif port & simply use the audio out port(every pc/sound card has one) to connect your 2.1 speakers(which everybody do).
