That's not the amplifier, that's the SPDIF input/output control. On the
Game Theater XP card the amplifier is always turned on (with the
exception when unmute the CD volume). There is no mixer
control for this.

One is for the primary AC97 codec, and the other one for the secondary
AC97 codec. The Game Theater XP got two cs4294 codecs.
That's why many mixer control are duplicated, and probably
some of them may be obsolete. Like microphone and headphone
on the secondary codecs are not wired to anything.

With that control you selects to use Coaxial digital input or Optical 
digital
input. Look on the back on your beutiful blue break-out box and you
will find them -;)
