No sound on new build!

I've got a Creative X-Fi Extreme music card and Logitech Z-2300 speakers, running Vista. The manual says to plug in the jack from the sub to the I/O slot on the sound card.

All I can hear when I do this is a low fuzzy sound but if I turn it up very high I can catch pieces of sound. I have the I/O and SPDIF enabled so I can't figure out what the problem is?

I just realized there is nothing going into the SPDIF slot on the mobo, is this the problem?

The computer is not seeing my speakers. They didn't come with a CD so I don't see how I'm meant to set them up....

EDIT: If I plug the speakers into my laptop they work fine.

Yes the sound card is the default sound card and the sound tab says it's using it. I am trying to connect it to the I/O slot as the manual says to.

No, it's connected through the back of the PC on the I/O slot.

If you D/L this: http://files2.europe.creative.com/m...l Music Quickstart Back En Fr De It Es Nl.pdf

I am using the connection at the top of that.

I just tried updating it via the Windows Driver update from the XP installation CD and now it isn't even recognising it.

Definatly in the sound card.

If I plug it into the next slot down (on linked image). It sounds like the speakers are online but they still don't play anything.

There's Vista drivers out, loads of people are running it on Vista.
I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong.

Could someone confirm what slot on the linked pdf Logitech Z-2300 speakers should be plugging in to?

There arn't any green slots on the sound card they are all gold.
