Confused with A1200 audio connectors.

[Painkiller]

Ok here is the deal have A1200 where the RCA connectors have been removed. So I was thinkin that I install traditional RCA connectors for it, but then stumbled upon something really odd. When the board has the original RCA connectors The left tand right audio poles are connected together :-? How is this possible I mean isn't the A1200 audio stereo which would be damn well impossible to achieve when the left and right poles are connected together or am I missing something here? I'm currently looking at the schematic and needless to say I'm really confused...

A1200 is indeed stereo. Are you absolutely certain you're not looking at the grounds?

I'm 100% certain. Measure it yourself if you don't believe me from pole to pole the left and right channel are connected   :-o

The RCA jacks contain switches which join the independant left and right audio channels together if a single (mono) RCA cable is plugged into the computer.  Likewise, you'll also measure a short with nothing plugged in.

I've written more detail about it here, the schematic also shows this detail (poorly).

Thank you for the info. I couldn't quite figure it out from the schematics I was looking at. BTW is there any place where I could buy these original connectors that have the switches?
