testlab Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Hi, I want to connect my digital spdif output from my Lanparty B to my Surround system (USING THE SPDIF Optical output). The board din't come with any connector. Is there any available ? or that option is just there to look pretty ? If so, Do you know where I can find it ?

Angry_Games Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 look on the back I/O of the motherboard...there's two SPDIF digital connectors there...they are on ever LPB if you are talking about the cable, go to Radio Shack or Best Buy etc and getcha one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
testlab Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Nope. I'm not talking about that AG. There are 2 types of SPDIF connections. 1. Coaxial 2. Optical. I can not use the coaxial one (the one at the back of the board) as my System needs Optical. There is something on the motherboard for SPDIF (Digital). But I need a connector (similar to the Firewire ones). As you can see on the Screenshot there is an Optical S/PDIF connection on the board but there isn't a Cable available with the board. I wanted to know where I can buy one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

testlab Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks Angry As helpful as always Maybe you don't have one but you can find out a compatible model or something like that ... I've seen a review for the LPA and I believe that one did have a connector (but I don't know if it's optical or coaxial). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Code Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Testlab, You can get a coaxial to optical converter. Plus the two cables. http://www.tvcables.co.uk/cgi-bin/tvcables...-CONVERTER.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I can get a converter (That was my Plan B) but as the board has Optical output I thought in using that one ... If I get a reply from AG saying there isn't such a thing then I'll have to go for Plan B. But ... If the option is available in the Board There should be a connector somewhere ...

testlab Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 This is what I need AG. This one is for ASUS. I need one for DFI. Is there such a thing ? (I need the top one as it's the OPTICAL one) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would we do without you ? Just sent her an email Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Games Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 you might want to send her the pic of the right bracket to doublecheck as she might be thinking it is a normal SPDIF connector (she shouldnt though since the board has the RCA-outs on the back I/O...but just to be double sure) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
testlab Posted September 16, 2004 Posted September 16, 2004 Good, I've put the link to the board on the email, But will send the picture as wel (Just in case). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
