You said earlier: "My sound card is a Creative Sound Blaster Live! Platinum 5.1." Here is a link: http://www.creative.com/products/product.asp?prodid=572 . It says: --------------------------------------------------------------------- .... Take advantage of the digital connection to Cambridge SoundWorks DeskTop Theaterâ 5.1 DTT3500 Digital speakers and the analog connection to Dolby Digital-ready home theater systems .... --------------------------------------------------------------------- You should be able to see whether your cards digital or analog output is used by consulting the cards manual and checking to which connector the cable to the amplifier is connected. I think you use the digital output and the blinking light on the amplifier means it's not getting a (recognised) signal. In alsamixer digital input and output is labeled IEC958. HTH, -Frans
