S/Pdif out, surround L/R/C jacks?

[DrAmar]

I just bought a new ASUS A7N8X-E Deluxe motherboard with the Nvidia Soundstorm APU. (Which I heard was awsome, especially for an MB APU)

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=13-131-478&catalog=22&manufactory=BROWSE&depa=1

Unfortunately, since the user guide that came with the MB was rather weak, I have no clue now what S/PDIF jack out Surround L/R and Center/LFE audio are for, and how they are different from Line in/Bass center, Line out/Front speaker and Micro/Rear Speaker Out? I assume that it has something to do that you use those if you want a dolby digital sound, and the Line in, Out, Mic is only to be used if dolby is not supported (In other words since I have Surround jacks they become useless to me, unless used only as input jacks for mic etc.)

Like I said before, I am really just guessing here, and I would appreciate a clarification before I go out and buy me some 5.1 speakers.

Thanks a lot,
DrAmar

Ps. On a great note, it looks like I have made enough posts on this forum to get the honorary title of "newbie" as oposed to "stranger"

Out goes out, in comes in, and all the digital channels can be decoded from the S/P-DIF Out connection.

Thanks,

But what are the Surround L/R and Center/LFE for as opposed to rear, front center. Which ones do I use?

Blue, Green and Red vs. Brown, Lila and Yellow?

IGNORE THEM! I already told you what to do with digital speakers. The other connections are for analog speakers.
