How does one switch the SB Live into digital-out mode? It boots up in analog-out mode. It works fine if I plug headphones or old speakers in, but I have nice, expensive speakers that won't emit sound until it's in digital mode. (I just convinced the owner of this system to switch from WinDos, under which they worked fine. I'm trying to avoid suggesting that she intenionally downgrade her speakers..)
