XPS 8700 Audio Port descriptions

[Steve-A04]

Where can I find a detailed description of each audio port for an XPS 8700?  The docs I've found so far are useless: "four audio output/headphone ports" doesn't tell us anything.  Can these manuals be dumbed down much more!?

 NICE!!! Good job osprey, I finally found one like it in my old files for my dimension 4550. Dell did explain a few (very few) things back then. year 2002

Thanks for posting, I wish there had been more info on this - not enough on Dell and the vendor just sends you right back to them...

If anyone gets more info, please post!

Appreciate the Picture a lot but need a little more info if you can please assist. I'm trying to figure out if any of these are s/pdif or digital coax? I'm running audio to my receiver and am planning on using a mini-toslink (from computer) to toslink (optical in receiver) cable. I know the mini toslink is the correct size to fit the outputs on the back of the computer but am hoping they will be outputting 5.1 surround. Thanks for any help with this, hopefully I don't need to purchase a new sound card to do this.
