For the Soundblaster Audigy2 Value, it has a port for Digital I/O (for stereo SPDIF output to Digital I/O Module*). Now what does sterio SPDIF output to Digital I/O Module mean? Can I hook the digital output from the sound card to my Logitech Z5500?

And Even if I could, would I want to do that?
 
No, you're not. Since the SB line doesn't have Dolby Digital ENCODING (just decoding), you will only be getting 2.1 output from everything except 5.1 sources (such as DVDs). Despite the fact that you may get rid of a small analog hiss, you're better off sticking with your analog plugs (to retain the 5.1 on most sound sources), despite the fact that your Audigy (with an adaptor) can easily plug into the digital input of your 5500's.
