Sound Blaster SPDIF Digital output
This modification is very simple. At the right side of the SB Live Value is a SPDIF_EXT header
Pin 1 on this header is SPDIF Digital Audio Out. (Pin 2 is ground)
To make use of this all we need to add is a RCA Jack to the SB Live, and solder the center terminal to Pin1, and the Ring terminal to ground.
Once soldered up you have SPDIF Digital Output on your Sound Blaster Live Value
