what do you call a cable that has a digital cable and at the other end it
had a white and red cable? I am trying to hook up my Creative Sound Blaster
Audio Card to my Home System

Thanks, Lynne

The white and red cable Sounds like RCA.
How does the digital cable look like ?

A digital to analogue (white and red) does not exist.

Likely what you have is a 1/8"mini stereo plug (male) to RCA cable (Right -
Red, Left - White). Use this for analogue stereo output to your home
stereo.

Find the digital output from your soundcard and send it to a digital input
on your stereo receiver. You can use one of 2 cables for this. One will
give you 2.1 digital, the other will give you 5.1 digital. Pick.

All this is on the back page of your quick install guide.

A 'digital' cable is a Fibre Optic cable - which is a galss fibre.

An RCA [most common type used for Audio purposes] or other type are co-axial
- made of metal strands, most commonly copper.

Glass fibre cables conduct light.
Copper cable conduct electricity.

Now how do you expect your 'described' cable to function?

Light wont pass through a solid!

From my reading of the information available at their website: all output
from this card is Analogue.

Are you confusing DTS [Digital Theater Systems] with 'Digital' output?

Anyhow from what you've posted in various places, it appears that you have
sound coming out from where you need it.

If the sound quality is poor - low volume - try increasing the volume levels
in the mixer panel on the PC, to get a higher output from the card, which
will generally improve the quality of the amplified sound from the surround
sound home system.
