4-2 Onboard Joystick Port

A joystick, in computer graphics, is a lever with at least two degrees of freedom used as an input device. The joystick is normally used as a locator in at least a 2-D plane.

The joystick device is most widely used in video games applications. Attach the joystick cable to the 15-pin JOYSTICK port at the rear panel of your mainboard.

4-3 Onboard Audio

This mainboard features three built-in audio-stereo ports (labeled line-in, line-out, and mic jack) convenient to directly plug-in all your external audio devices. Your SY-5STM mainboard is making use of the ALS120 sound chipset technology and applications programs.

Note: Please refer to Chapter 5- ALS120 Audio Driver Installation for a detailed procedure on how to install the audio driver depending on the particular environment (DOS, Win NT 3.5/4.0, Win 95, Win 3.1) installed on your system.
