Is the Creative X Fi Sound Blaster Laptop Sound Card worth it?

Altec Lansing FX5051 Speakers + Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series Sound Card (PICS)?

• So I got these Altec Lansing FX5051 Speakers ( http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa25/theesammalamma/ALTEC_FX5051.png ) and I they came with a USB hook-up or these three audio cables. Each cable has one regular sized black male tip and opposite an identical tip except a different color. One is Green (Front) which the manual says to plug into 'stereo'. One is black (Surround) which the manual says to plug into 'surround'. The last is orange (C/LFE) and the manual says to plug it into 'center'. This is all dandy, however my sound card (Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional Series) is not marked like that -not even color coded- and I'm afraid that it doesn't work with my sound card.

For now I have the speakers working and plugged in via USB, but I don't want to waste my sound card. Help?
