The only digital output that's provided for audio as a rule is S/PDIF and it's generally only on desktop machines. You can only use this with a device having a S'PDIF input. For virtually all purposes this isn't applicable, and you use the analiog system and the realtek device, or a completely separate sound device which bypasses all of the internal stuff completely.
