No mb s/pdif header. Can I use one on rear i/o panel? - cocjh1 - 2009-11-15

Hi,

I have an asus A8NE-FM/S motherboard which has a s/pdif output on the rear i/o panel. There are no s/pdif sockets/pins on the motherboard that I can see.

I've just purchased a 9400GT card for this motherboard which support s/pdif input to allow audio over hdmi.

Question: Is it possible to loop the s/pdif output from the rear i/o to the 9400gt input? I'm happy to lash a cable up if needs be.

Picture of rear panel i/o showing s/pdif in centre:

9400 card I've bought comes with cable:
