A simple guide to PC ports
I have created a simple guide to the ports on a PC. I have created a link to it on my website so that any improvements made make life easier.
Could this be made a sticky post http://homepage.ntlworld.com/david.e...er%20Ports.doc |

Re: A simple guide to PC ports
just like to add, on some laptops the optical uses the same jack/socket as the headphones.
this makes the headphone socket dual purpose. you need a mini tosslink adapter to use the S/PDIF optical. |
Re: A simple guide to PC ports
Any chance of updating this to show the sound ports - my PC seems to have 6 or 8 sockets coloured green, pink, blue etc. for microphone and/or speaker cables and I really have no idea what to plug in where.
Thx Jac |

I can use the jacks for whatever I choose on my motherboard using the realtek Audio control panel thingy :)
It picks up on any Jacks I plug in I i just click on output / input that I want it to be - I though this was pretty common... |

OK guys I need help.
On the Sound card color code: section I have listed all the colours and what they do, but I would like to improve it by adding the icon that appears by each of the ports, but so far have only found two. Can you please PM links of these icons if you find them. |
