motherboard question
This might be the most dumbest question. but no question is a dmb question...so i have a question about the S/P Dif's. What are they? My old mobo came with different S/P dif in and out puts....they came looking like a/v in/out puts...but not these...i was wondering what exactly they are for?

As far as i know , i think they are for digital sound output. it should say in your mobo manual . im pretty sure mine say that.

There are 2 types of S/PDIF - optical and coaxial. The ones that look like A/V (RCA jacks) are coaxial, the optical connectors use a TOSlink cable.
