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.
google majorgeeks:everest download and install then run the program and click on motherboard. Use the make and model number to track down the manual all the info you need will be there

Re: A simple guide to PC ports
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.
