Audio Connectors
CD-ROM Audio-In Header: CD-IN
This header is used to connect to a CD-ROM / DVD audio cable.
Front Panel Audio Header: FRONT AUDIO
You can use the Front Panel Audio header (FRONT AUDIO) to connect to a separate audio bracket
or to connect to case embedded audio equipment. The Front AUDIO header provides MIC-in and
Line–out functionality and cannot be used simultaneously with the back panel mic and speakers. An
SPDIF/Audio bracket is optionally packaged with some models
.
S/PDIF Header: SPDIF
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is an audio transfer file format which provides high quality
audio using optical fiber and digital signals. This mainboard is equipped with an SPDIF header and
must be used with a bracket-cable containing S/PDIF ports. An SPDIF/Audio bracket is optionally
packaged with some models. The bracket has RCA connectors similar to that used with most
consumer audio products and TOS-Link connectors and you can use these connectors to output/input
audio to and from an S/PDIF device. The devices you connect to must be S/PDIF compliant for
optimal effect.
Note: The SPDIF out RCA port was already built in the back panel. If you want to use the optional
SPDIF bracket, you will find there are two SPDIF out RCA port (one is on the back panel and the
other is on the SPDIF card), and you can use only one of them at the same time.
