    Hola,

    Does anyone know where to buy a "Composite Video Adapter" adapter as shown by AnimeFreak in an old 2007 post-Pic included-for my dell Insp-lptp to stereo AND tv? I can't seem to to google the right thing! It's so I can use my s-vid out to not only the TV, but an external DAC as well, thus utilizing the Sigma Tel SPDIF line from the sound card and upping the 48KHz to a 96...or so the DAC info says.

    I just don't wanna change s-vid cords all the time...one for TV and one for Audio-GRAZIE!!!

    No, sorry. That's not it. I did see that one though, thanks. But it needs to have an s-video jack (male or female) on one side and an s-video, then a coaxial, optical, and/or RCA on the other...just like in the picture from AnimeFreak's thread-link I posted with the original question. Tough one huh? Plus there's no way to contact AnimeFreak, I checked his profile...
    BTTDB; back to the drawing board, sheesh!

    Yeah, saw that one too. Thank you for your help but there's no s-video on the output jack side unfortunately. Just RCA's and coaxials. I need s-video to both coaxial or optical, and another s-video for the TV.

    Something about this doesn't make sense. What S-Vid port has audio on it?

    Edit: Pretty sure the standards are all video only, so if they have some sort of proprietary signal on thier S-Vid port, the only place you will be able to get the proprietary part is from Dell (or ebay).
