Playback Engine issue.

[kol12]

I have a Creative SoundBlaster X-AE5 PCIE soundcard. For playback engine options in PT First I have:

Windows Audio Device (currently selected)
Creative SB/SBX AE DSD ASIO Device
Creative SB/SBX AE DSD series Device

Input: WhatUHear (SoundBlaster X- AE5) (currently selected)

Output: 1. Asus High Definition Audio Device (monitor speakers) (this is the default selection by Pro Tools)
2. SPDIF OUT (SoundBlaster X- AE5)
3. Speakers (SoundBlaster X- AE5)

Speakers (SoundBlaster X- AE5) should be my headphone output from the SoundBlaster X- AE5 and when I select it Avid says it's needs to restart but it doesn't. Instead it sits there on a blank gray screen. When I go to the playback settings again (from the blank gray screen with toolbar) the output device has again defaulted to Asus High Definition Audio Device.

I'm not sure what the issue is. What should be the correct way to configure the SoundBlaster X- AE5?

Edit: When I select SB/SBX AE DSD series Device as the playback engine I get Output options for Front/Rear L/R analog outputs from the soundcard but I want headphone output not analog outputs.
