Is this not an actual digital audio cable? All I get is garble from the headphones. I don't know if it is a driver setting etc. Please tell me if this cable is compatible with what I want to do.
If it isn't, please show me a cable under 20 dollars that is. Thanks.
Great company, quality parts, and best of all: they have rather low prices for what they make!

My Head-Fi feedback: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f12/th...ngmule-222217/
I really want to figure out if I am even using the right KIND of cable first to see if it is indeed the problem.
Is there supposed to be two RCA jacks to Two RCA jacks or just one? It seems a lot of the digital coaxial cables I see are one male to one male RCA cables.

What are you thinking about connecting?
I'm wondering if you are connecting a digital output to an amp's analog input. If that's the case, then it will never work.

The FlexJack on the sound card provides several different function out of the same jack, the cable you had shown is intended for analog signals. While it may work, I'm thinking that you might have plugged it into an amp's analog input.

How do I avoid this? It is an Amp/DAC combo so how should I connect it to make sure that it is digital? I have just been connecting the left and right audio cable (it is a two by two rca patch cable) to the input of my amp and one of te two on the other side to the flexijack.
By the way, the thing I bought is a patch cable. Does that mean anything?
That means you have connected incorrectly indeed. HA25's digital input needs TOSLINK optical cable, while the RCA connector is purely for analog input, and not for connecting digital input.
For Creative products, I think you will need an expansion card for optical digital output. But don't quote me on that, because I'm not very into creative stuff, not for a while anyways.

Wait, I cannot plug in a digital coaxial cable to this amp? It only supports Optical if I want to use the DAC?
Will this cable even work?
