Audio Connectors
This mainboard provides three connectors as part of its audio Subsystem.
CD-ROM Audio-In Header: JCDIN1
This header is used to connect to a
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Headers:SPDIF_IN1/OUT1
S/PDIF is a recent audio transfer file format, which provides high quality audio using optical fiber and digital signals. This mainboard is capable of delivering audio output and receiving audio input through the SPDIF header. One way you would use this header is by using an SPDIF bracket attached to your computer. This bracket will have a cable that you can attach to the SPDIF header. This bracket will also have an RCA connector, similar to that used with most consumer audio products. Using the RCA connector, the data can then be output to and input from an S/PDIF device. The devices that are receiving and sending information from this header must be S/PDIF compliant for optimal effect. Note that the SPDIF output is provided by this mainboard, but SPDIF input is optional in the packaging.
Front Panel Audio Header: JAUDIO2
If your computer case has the embedded audio equipment design or you are using an audio bracket (optional). You can connect these components to this JAUDIO2 header. First, remove the jumper caps covering the header pins. Connect pin 1 and 3 to the case microphone. Connect pin 9 and 5 to the earphone. If you do not intend to use the front audio panel, do not remove the jumper caps; otherwise, the front panel audio & the back panel audio will disconnect simultaneously.
Attention
If the jumper caps are in place, jumper cap 1 is on pin 5 & pin 6, and jumper cap2 is on pin 9 & pin 10.
