maximum outputs with ct4870

djjon · Dec 10, 2005, 09:06 AM

Just a quick question. Wants the max outputs with the above card?

Thanks

Are you talking simutaneous physical outputs?

djjon · Dec 10, 2005, 11:14 PM

Yeah. I currently have it running 2 stereo outputs. One from each of the line outs.

This card doesnt have the Spdif output on the back.

the card does support SPDIF, but you need to use the AUD_EXT header on the card. The AUD_EXT header has 3 SPDIF outputs, but if your card has the SPDIF_IO, i think from memory, it only has one SPDIF out

Hi again Dj Stick.
Yes it has the Aud_Ext. Is there a link or a thread to show me how to use this for outputs?

And thanks again for your help!!

AUD_EXT header pinout is available here

good luck

Cool, so to get an extra output from the AUD_EXT header I would have to suss out how to wire up another set of RCA's out? In other words, there should only be 4 wires I have to worry about? right, left and two grounds?

Or am I over simplifying this!?!?!?

SPDIF is digital, so you would need a converter if you want analog sound (ie for speakers)

so for each stereo spdif channel there is one signal wire and one ground wire
