    Hello,

    On the right side of my laptop there are four ports (excluding the USB). The first is the headphone jack, the second is the microphone jack, what are the other two? What are they used for?

    To build on what Atmosk said, they're also used for 5.1 and 7.1 audio setups which would require all of the jacks in the case of the latter. Some find the S/PDIF jack useful for connection to home theater receivers (which is what I use it for).
