Front Audio Connectors
If the housing has been designed with an audio port on the front panel, you’ll be
able to connect onboard audio to front panel through this connector. By the way,
please remove 5-6 and 9-10 jumper caps from the Front Audio Connector before
connecting the cable. Please do not remove these 5-6 and 9-10 yellow jumper
caps if there’s no audio port on the front panel.
S/PDIF Connectors

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.
