ROFL! I had a similar problem in FC3 when using a Boston Acoustics 
speaker pair and subwoofer set with a Sound Blaster Live EMU-10K1 card. 
When, at the very end of the ALSA mixer, I saw the SB Live 
Digital/Analog Output Jack checkbox, I knew I finally had a solution 
allowing me to use my digital stereo system instead of a plain-vanilla 
set of analog powered speakers.

The only remaining annoyance is that I have to reset this /every single 
time/ I boot up--though not when I log out of one account and log into 
another without shutting down in between.
