The "output" will "output" whatever input signal there is. e.g. if you play CD's the CD audio will be sent to whatever speakers. Except for something that generates surround sound (e.g. 5.1 sound) the type of speaker system you have is not an issue.
However, do you have "digital" speakers? If you have "analog" speakers you must use the Analog speaker connection(s) and set the output for analog. If you set the output to "digital" then you must have speakers that accept a digital input signal.
If you have "digital" speakers, double check all of your speaker connections. If you bought "digital" speakers from Dell there should have been a connection sheet on how to hook them up. If you have "digital" speakers from a previous non-Dell system or from Retail speakers make sure they are compatible and hooked up correctly.
You didn't include the Make/Model of speakers so no one can offer you specific advice based on the speakers you have.

OK did not think it mattered with speakers just assumed that they would play whatever type of sound thru them I have Altec Lansing 2.1 model ATP3 system with subwoofer it has one input. Seems like the speakers may not be compatible but shouldnt the headphones play in digital?526

Hmmm..........the pink jack is usually for the mic. The green one is for speakers.526

That is normally the case but I have a switch that I got from Radio Shack that allows me to switch between headphones and speakers and the output is pink for some reason...526

Ok have speakers hooked up but no digital output have them hooked up according to the instruction manual went in to the settings and changed from analog to digital while playing music but no digital output what I am I missing. Tryed to run configuration manager for the Audigy 2ZS sound card but in digital there is no output is there any other settings I am missing or something else that was supposed to hook up.
Thanks Roger
