What type of output does a S PDIF port provide?

An SPDIF port is digital audio port. It provides stereo or compressed surround audio by way of coaxial or optical communication.


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.

What is spdif interface and what are its uses?

A SPDIF interface is a connection that is found on a variety of electronic audio devices, from computer sound cards, minidisk players, home theatre surround amplifiers and many more. SPDIF is short for Sony Phillips Digital InterFace and it is used to transmit audio digitally from one device to another. The digital audio formats supported by this interface are many and include standard 2 channel audio up to 5.1 Dolby Digital channels at high sample rates.


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

How do you stop my altec lansing atp3 PC speakers from humming when plugged into the spdif port of my asus laptop?

To stop the humming from your Altec Lansing ATP3 speakers when connected to the SPDIF port of your Asus laptop, first ensure that the connections are secure and that the cables are not damaged. You can also try using a different power outlet or plugging the speakers into a surge protector to reduce electrical interference. Additionally, check your laptop’s audio settings and make sure the SPDIF output is configured correctly, and consider adjusting the volume levels to see if that mitigates the noise. If the problem persists, using an external USB sound card may help isolate and eliminate the hum.
