Connecting PS3 to X-Fi

ok so i bought a cable, now im tearing my hair out as i cant set it up properly.

I've plugged it from the optical out in the back of the ps3 to the digital I/O slot on the back of the x-fi extrememusic. Now all i get is buzzing sounds through my speakers and no audio (trying mp3's on the PS3)

i've been fiddling around for the past hour but cant get it to work!!!!!!
 
i give up...it obviously doesnt work on my crappy soundcard.

Can anyone reccommend a set of 5.1 speakers with an optical in slot?
 
well if the card accepts input then how do i get the optical cable to work? the end that goes into the PS3 is optical, and theres an adapter on the end that goes into the x-fi. The x-fi accepts the cable reporting 2ch 44.1 khz input etc, but all that comes out of the speakers is high pitched squealing noises
