Can I use the optical on my onboard sound while using an XFI for analog?
Follow along with the video below to see how to install our site as a web app on your home screen.

Sure. Although if you have Vista it already seperates the X-Fi into two sound devices (analog and S/PDIF), but it sounds like you have XP (in which case just enable your integrated audio).
I have vista
Good, so you should already be able to achieve what you're looking for without having to use integrated audio. Have application X's output set to DirectSound: Speakers and application Y's output set to DirectSound: S/PDIF Out.
without having to use the xfi front panel(platinum/f4t) and in vista it won't let me do both
wait, I can use both the Coax and Optical outputs at the same time right?
If you can, they will produce identical streams.
