13. Super 5.1 Channel Audio Effects
This motherboard comes with an ALC650 CODEC, which supports high quality of 5.1
Channel audio effects, bringing you a brand new audio experience. On the strength of the
innovative design of ALC650, you're able to use standard line-jacks for surround audio output
without connecting any external module. To apply this function, you have to install the audio
driver in the Bonus Pack CD as well as an audio application supporting 5.1 Channel. Picture
bellow represents the standard location of all speakers in 5.1Channel sound track. Please
connect the plug of your front speakers to the green “Speaker out” port, rear speakers’ plug
to the blue “Line in” port and both of the center and subwoofer speakers to the red “MIC in”
port.

10. Connecting IrDA Connector
12. S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) Connector
The IrDA connector can be configured to support wireless infrared module, with this
module and application software such as Laplink or Windows 95 Direct Cable Connection,
the user can transfer files to or from laptops, notebooks, PDA devices and printers. This
connector supports HPSIR (115.2Kbps, 2 meters) and ASK-IR (56Kbps).
Install the infrared module onto the
IrDA
connector and enable the infrared function from
BIOS Setup, UART mode select, make sure to have the correct orientation when you plug
in the IrDA connector.
S/PDIF (Sony/Philips Digital Interface) is a newest audio transfer file format, which provides
impressive audio quality through optical fiber and allows you to enjoy digital audio instead of
analog audio. Through a specific audio cable, you can connect the S/PDIF connector to other
end of the S/PDIF audio module, which bears S/PDIF digital output. Normally there are two
S/PDIF outputs as shown, one for RCA connector, the most common one used for consumer
audio products, and the other for optical connector with better audio quality. Same as outputs,
you can also connect RCA or optical audio products to input connectors on the module and
have the voice or music come out from your computer. However, you must have a S/PDIF
supported speaker/amplifier/decoder with S/PDIF digital input/output to connect to the S/PDIF
digital input/output to make the most out of this function.
