Hello,

I need to know the pinout for my Asus IPIBL-LB spdif connector. There are three pins and they are not labeled in any way.

So... I thought that I remembered how it went... I was wrong.

The board sits basically upside down in my case and I thought that the ground pin was on the right (left most pin of the three in relationship to the motherboard) with the center pin being the spdif pin... I was half right. The center pin is the spdif pin but plugging the cable in this way actually prevented the computer from powering up. I have no idea why, but that's what happened.

I reversed the cable and connected it left pin ground (right most pin in relationship to the motherboard) and center pin to spdif... the machine would now power on and my audio is now working again through my hdmi. I hope my blunder may help somebody in the future.
