Audio Port Connectors & Audio Header (J1)
The 3 audio jacks are for 2-channel mode for stereo speaker output: Line Out
is a connector for Speakers or Headphones. Line In is used for external CD player,
Tape player, or other audio devices. Mic is a connector for microphones.
However, there is an advanced audio application provided by Realtek ALC880
to offer support for 7.1-channel audio operation. You can use the external audio
cable and the rear audio connectors to function the 2-/4-/5.1-/7.1- channel audio.
