won't get rid off my logitech 5.1 (no optical!)

The X-Fi won't work with OS X. http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=209&subcategory=669&product=17751&nav=3

Go with the one that will work with OS X. The manufacturers' websites will have all the information you need.

Optical?

If all you want is 5.1... can you maybe try mini-optical to TOSLINK optical wire to pipe your sound into a 5.1 receiver and have at it. That's what I have set up with my Blackbook and Poineer reciever; gives me 5.1 channels (though I only use 5.1 stereo for my iTunes).

Can't be true that there is no way to go
