Wikki says a lot about it, but that's the problem. So much detail and no real overview.
Terms like Biphase mark code abound, and that's fine, if only they didn't assume substantial prior knowledge.
In my Audio thread, I'd hoped that this output might be connected to sound to overcome a difficult problem. But scoping the output of the few pins on the Mother Board, really didn't show me very much.
This signal was on one of the pins. It had a fairly high DC 'bias' I think about 10v, with a signal a little over half that.
I could see no real evidence of modulation when music was playing. Just these multiple waves which might account for the above phrase.
One thing is certain, I can't connect it to an ordinary audio input.
This is the simplistic level I need to start at when I'm learning. If anywhere it had said that it has to be decoded at the other end of the connecting line, that would have made sense. It (Wikki) just assumed I'd know.
If I buy an amp that has the appropriate input, is it reasonable to assume that such a signal,
on a single pin, would convey stereo audio. I don't know what the other pins do.
What would the normal connector look like if I'd had a case with a ribbon to the M-B?
My good leads are back 'home', and there may be some noise on this picture, but it was reasonably stable. This wave is easily capable of carrying complex data, but as mentioned I could see little fluctuation.
