I've got audio-connectors on both 350 and 150 and they are only for
audio in. The 150 doesn't have audio-out. All output on the 350 is
through the "hauppauge-specific" connector. The 2 cables I have for
that connector (S-video with 2 audio connectors or SCART) provide the
audio either through 2 audio-connectors or through the SCART-plug.
