Also, does your cable box have an option to chose which audio output to select?

The audio card only has one or two inputs which are analog/stereo connections. The SPDIF and coax are outputs, not inputs so connecting another output to either of them will do nothing but potentially damage your computer.
What you need to do is this - use the analog,stereo audio outputs from the cable box (red and white connections) and connect it to the computer sound card's aux or microphone input (this end would be a stereo mini jack). Cables can be purchased at Radio Shack as well as other retailers.
