Quantum physics states that most phenomena take on quantised values. but that doesn't mean that the world is digital either. Quantisation certainly doesn't imply that the universe is digital, since even quantised values can have more than two values.
Further, the fact that some physical properties are quantised is sort of irrelevant to the fact that the world is mostly analogue, the position that a particle occupies in space is NOT quantised as far as I'm aware, and its the movement of particles which is relevant to hearing.
Also, this entire discussion is a complete and total wank, and hardly anyone here seems to have payed attention in high school physics. Fail.

Energy is transfered between particles using fixed quanta just like digital 0's and 1's. Just because you can have differnet outputs of total energy transferance does not mean that each quanta varies.
Energy is a conserved quantity and as everything, absolutely everything occurs at the quantum level when you boil down any action in the Universe, then in this sense the transference of packets of energy are in defined bite sized digital chunks.
For a sound wave to occur energy MUST be transfered from one entity to another.
Ok I'm stretching the point but this is because I always want to go right to the very route of any occurance inj nature, and not be strapped into the 'mere' reality us large slow beings can percieve. Nature is not interested in how we as large slow beings in a classical world sense nature, oh no, nature just is what it is regardless of our clumsy senses.
