Realtek ALC889A Analog and Digital?

I have seen numerous posts asking if W7/Realtek/Gigabyte supports Analog (Mini- Plug) and Digital (RCA) at the same time but I have yet to get an answer I can understand or make work. Is it possible and if so how do I set it up. Help would be appreciated.

In all systems, I've seen, it's either the analog or digital but not both. There may be a system that does allow both, but I haven't seen one. I've worked with RealTek and Sigmatel/IDT Integrated audio systems, SoundBlaster and HT Omega Striker 7.1 sound cards and none will allow both.

Thanks for the information. That is probably why I can't find a solution to my problem - it does not exist! I guess my next question is - has anybody developed a simple "Toggle Macro" that will allow my wife to automatically change the default Realtek driver back to Analog in case I left it set to Digital?
