As what the title says, is there any difference in terms of audio quality? Thanks.

AV audio as in the white-red jacks?
digital output can gives you discrete 5.1 channel if you got the decoder that support it. while the red-white jacks can gives you 5.1 also if your decoder support pro-logic 2, but it is through sound processing from 2 channels, and not dedicated 6 channels.

does your soundcard support audio-IN through fibre optic?

I have the creative sound blaster audigy 2 ZS. I'm not sure, I see some really big port, not sure if its fibre optics. Thanks

nope, sorry. your sound card doesn't have optical-IN. follow the link below and see the audigy 2 external picture, there's a port with optical-IN written below it. you need something like that to get Dolby Digital (6 channels)

what your card can do is, using the 2 channels and up-mix it to become 6 channels.
