Hello there 🙂
I've searched the net for days now to find the standard for the 3.5mm TRS jackconnectors for 5.1 surround sound.
TRS 1 is front
TRS 2 is rear
TRS 3 is sub/center
Nothing new there.
But how are they connected?
I assume that Sleeve is GND as usual on all 3, but how about Tip and Ring. How are they assigned????

Hello,
For stereo jacks, I know the ring is for the right channel, the tip for the left one and the sleeve is for ground.
I guess that it will be the same for the surround channels.
I don't know for the center/sub connector...

I found this:
It is for 7.1 channel
Where:
1. Line Out 1 jack
2. Line Out 2 jack
3. Line Out 3 jack
4. Front Left
5. Front Right
6. Ground
7. Rear Left
8. Rear Right
9. Ground
10. Side Right
11. Center
12. Subwoofer
13. Ground
14. Side Left
I would assume that for 5.1 system
9 and 10 are merging into ground
Same for 13 and 14
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

You assume wrong. The jacks have 3 rings and the ground it is NOT the last sleeve/ring. Cables are identical with the ones for analog video out in camcorders. For example in Creative cards looks like this:domtw said:
Line Out 1 it is stereo.
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Line Out 2 is configured as: Rear Left, Rear Right, and Side Right

Line Out 3 is configured as: Front Center, Subwoofer, and Side Left
An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Hi domtw
Thank You very much.
I assumed, like You wrote, that the ring would be right, (and not wrong)😉
Then it just the question with sub/center assignment.
