So I bought a Creative Z sound card yesterday. I installed it. Everything looks like it installed properly. However, when I try to play something through the digital output (SPDIF) I get nothing. I have a Logitech 5.1 surround system. The control unit has a SPDIF in and even though I have the TOSLINK cable connected, it doesn't even detect anything coming through from the sound card.

Is changing from SPDIF digital out and Creative Speakers in sound control panel allowed on the fly or do I need to reboot my system depending on what my output source is?
 
Should be able to change it "on the fly".

Change the output and then perform the speaker test.
