Okay, I have an s3 trio64v+ and right above the vga monitor port is a little jack that looks like a audio out jack, and on the board it is labelled as "mpeg audio" Was this a sound card and video in one? I can post pics if you want.
No, it's a sound output that works if you attach an mpeg daughterboard I think. I guess you can connect this output and the sound card's line-in.
And is served as what? If you have a sound card already what would the audio coming out of this port be?
When you play a DVD I guess.
Its the audio out port if you installed the mpeg1 decoder module - it would do hardware decoding of mpeg1 video and audio in the days when the CPU wasn't quite fast enough. We're probably talking vcd, not dvd.

Hmmm...can you post a picture please? Haven't seen one. 😁
Right oh, I will. Hold on.
SOrry the pic the blurry on the second photos, my camera is crapping out on me, I have had the camera for like 7 years.
That would be the audio connector for S3's Scenic Highway MPEG daugtercard.

In retrospect, the VideoCD rage was so pointless eh? I remember a guy showing me his new $2000 notebook with exciting PCMCIA Zoomed Video port so he could watch VCDs! Wow! 🤣 That was 1995.
Oh, the black bar on the third one it from the camera, I did not mess with it.
Also, is this card "rare"?
I don't think so. I've got 4 S3 trio 64 cards I think, and one of them has also that audio out jack. However it's a good card for dos games, as it is very compatible.
