SPDIF is a digital audio protocol developed by Sony and Philips. In order to connect the signal to an anologue input, a digital to analogue converter is required. If the source also has analogue outputs, it is much easier to use them - the digital to analogue converter is built into the source and saves the need for an external one. It might be argued that a good quality external converter can produce a better quality analogue signal than an integrated converter in a DVD player for example. A listening test will help to decide if that is the case.
What else can I help you with?
How do you convert spdif into rca stereo?
SPDIF is a digital audio interface and is designed to transfer audio from one device to another without converting the signal to analog. Eventually, the signal will become analog as the speakers require an analog signal. to work. Almost all audio devices that have a SPDIF output also have an analog output so rather than buying a SPDIF to analog converter, use an existing analog output. If the device with the digital output doesn't have an analog output, then you don't have much choice about buying a converter unit. The converter is an active device so don't expect to find a simple converter cable. They don't cost a lot and they can be obtained from many specialist electronics stores. Good starting points are Radio Shack in the US or Maplin in the UK
What sort of cables do you need to connect your soundcard to your stereo?
Cabling will vary depending on your specific stereo and soundcard -- analog RCA, digital COAX, and SPDIF are most common.
How does one add a headphone analog audio out jack to a stereo TV which has only 2 tiny weak speakers and only a coaxial digital audio out orange RCA type jack?
You would have to purchase a Digital to Analog converter and connect the SPDIF (orange RCA connector) to the D/A converter's digital input via a RCA/SPDIF cable. Then you would have to connect some type of headphone amplifier to the line outputs of the D/A converter.
Is there analog audio in spdif?
No. S/PDIF carries only compressed digital audio, although it sometimes uses analog connectors.
When you conect a tv t a CPU will you get sound?
If you connect it over a HDMI Connection and the graphics card in question running the interface allows for sound over HDMI, then yes. If you mean "Will I get sound from my computer as I always have.. " Then yes, you will as long as your primary audio output remains selected to your normal means (analog out, SPDIF, headphones, what have you.. ) Hope this helps!
Can you buy an adapter to convert 35mm jack to spdif?
No, you cannot directly convert a 3.5mm jack (analog audio) to SPDIF (digital audio) using a simple adapter, as they are fundamentally different types of signals. However, you can use a digital audio converter that takes an analog signal from a 3.5mm jack and converts it to a digital SPDIF signal. This typically involves more than just an adapter, as it requires a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) or an audio interface with the appropriate conversion capabilities.
Can you purcchase a cable that would have SPDIF plug on one end and two RCA plugs on the other?
It's not straightforward to convert between SPDIF and a stereo pair of RCA plugs. SPDIF is a digital standard (SPDIF is an acronym for Sony Philips Digital Interface) and a pair of RCA plugs is analogue. It is possible to buy adaptors that convert from one to the other; if you search for SPDIF to analogue (or analog) convertor with google, you'll find a selection.
Is it possible to connect notebook with tv through spdif for a sound as I use vga for video with simple jack-jack cable or is it necessary to have some special spdif cable?
OK. Allready solved the problem. As spdif cable is an optical, so laser goest thru that, it's really impossible to connect it with just some jack...
A tv has a single spdif out and the surround sound only accepts a red and white rca input how do you make it work?
The TV is a MONO TV and you need a STEREO TV with audio output jacks to get the surround system to work. PS, what is a spdif?
Is there an spdif analog audio out?
No, a S/PDIF is, by definition, a Sony / Phillips Digital Interconnect Format connector, and is always a digital signal. It is usually connected by an RCA cable, and can be carried by cable specified for analog use, but digital cable is better.
What type of output does an SPDIF port provide?
Sony/Philips Digital Interface. Provides digital output and the best signal quality. Connects to an external home theater audio system.
Is spdif multichannel?
SPDIF can carry stereo (2 channels) of audio.
