Question Solved: Identifying these Orange, Blue, Yellow connectors?
Can someone please help me out here by identifying the circled ports in the picture attached to this post. I understand what the vertical ones on the far right are (Pink:microphone, Green: speakers, Blue:stereo).

The circled ports I have no sure idea about. Thanks for your help.

does this help
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC_Syst...tors_and_ports

looks like -
yellow RCA - Composite Video
Orange - center/subwoofer
Blue - Analog line level audio input.

Do you have the make and model of the motherboard - should be listed in the manual

Yellow looks like composite video. Do you have a motherboard model number?

At least one of those will be digital audio I imagine. I agree with Frank, the make/model of the motherboard is what is required here.

Thank you for your feedback, I am something of an amateur on hardware and connectors.

I found that the image was taken from: http://www.techtree.com/India/Review...51860-636.html
Motherboard is a: Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe Motherboard


So what are these mystery ports?
