Tip - SPDIF Out
1st Ring - ground
2nd Ring - SPDIF In (or ground)
Sleeve - ground (or SPDIF In)

The last 2 above would be shorted together by the adapter, thus no input, but output works fine.

Ah ok - I must not have comprehended this point...

Yep, tested it out and I have no input. The SPDIF out works fine though. SO if you want a checp way to get a SPDIF out on that card just use a 3.5 mini to dual RCA and the white connector is the SPDIF out..other than that buy a Digital I/O module...
