ABSTRACT:
An apparatus including an audio data processor is connected to a data bus to receive encoded digital audio signals. The audio data processor decodes the encoded digital audio signals, and transmits the decoded digital audio signals in different output formats to an audio output jack. The jack includes a first contact portion that receives one of the digital audio signals in one SPDIF format from the audio data processor. The jack also includes a second contact portion that receives another digital audio signal in another SPDIF format from the audio data processor. The jack receives a plug that includes at least two portions. A first portion of the plug receives one of the digital audio signals from the audio data processor, and a second portion of the plug receives the another of the digital audio signal from the audio data processor. The jack transmits one of the digital audio signals to the first portion of the plug, and the other of the digital audio signals to the second portion of the plug.
