Coaxial, S/PDIF out to stereo

Do I need special coaxial cable, or any coaxial cable?
Coaxial is the cable that looks like the PS2 cables to the tv right?
This motherboard supports the S/PDIF out, but there is only one socket. What does that mean?
I want to hook it to my stereo system, to get the surround sound. The stereo has two slots for the AUX, L & R(left & right). I need this cable which has two out right?

Here is what I'm doing. The options for the stereo system does not allow 4.1, using the coaxial, the application gives me another option-using a another socket(which looks like the pc speaker) for the rear channels. But when I connect it to my stereo, I hear a fizz sound when I crank the volume.
The other thing the speakers do not respond well. The left channel(rear) is not working. The right channel is working but on both speakers.
The wire, I place into the mic slot, since I don't have a split jack to L & R.
Is there a problem with the cable because I hear the fizz sound?
And the Left rear is not working properly.
Hope I made it simple.
Stereo System: Panasonic SA-PM11

Thanks
