Probly optical, I'm not sure, like I said before I'm still using an SB16
ISA :-D

Take a look over at:
http://www.soundblaster.com/products/mp35.1/specs.asp

You might be able to find the info that your looking for there :-D

Two things worth mentioning, Creative only supports drivers for Windows
9.x and NT, and, I also saw a SoundBlaster LIVE Platinum OEM with
digital outs over at CompuSmart for 80 bucks...
