1.10.2 Audio Connectors
The board contains audio connectors on both the back panel and the component side of the board.
The component-side audio connectors include the following:
•
Front panel audio (a 2 x 5-pin connector that provides mic in and line out signals for front panel
audio connectors)
•
S/PDIF (an optional 1 x 3 connector that provides digital audio signals in S/PDIF format)
•
ATAPI CD-ROM (an optional 1 x 4-pin ATAPI-style connector for connecting an internal
ATAPI CD-ROM drive to the audio mixer)
The functions of the back panel audio connectors are dependent on which subsystem is present.
The 8-channel (7.1) audio subsystem is described in Section 1.10.3; the 6-channel (5.1) audio
subsystem is described in Section 1.10.4.
