The way the M-Audio does its surround sound is seperate outputs, not sure how the creative does it. If you are only outputting via a single stereo output to something that does the processing than the software has a thing called sensaura and it also has the SRS surround. I have mine hooked up to a 6.1 channel set up through seperate analog connections. It also has a dolby digital coax connector and not an optical connector, but adapters are easy to come by. I dont play to many games so really can not comment on the quality in gaming.
