So just did a heart transplant for my PC and installed an ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO motherboard.
My previous board, Rampage III Extreme, had a port on the motherboard and card / plug for the SPDIF digital audio with both fiber and coax. Since the receiver is some distance from my PC and I dont want to try and find a 30 foot fiber cable / easy to crush, how does one get SPDIF COAX out of this motherboard? Will it do digital out of one of the headphone jacks in the back with the proper settings? I played with the settings and tried out of the line out and center jack but no luck on that go'round
I'm looking at all the audio connectors on each board and the pin-out description for the plug on the old board, and I don't see a way to plug in the cable / coax port that came with the old board.
Old board has 4 pins, one with a 5V plug and nothing patching that as a way to plug it into the audio pins anywhere on the motherboard.
Windows appears to have pulled down the proper drivers and has the audio software as well.
Without buying a converter on Amazon that goes from SPDIF fiber to coax, does the motherboard itself have the possibility to output SPDIF coax like I was using before?
