That's a PS/2 port, it does not supply audio output. It's for mice and keyboards- outdated as of now

That is a PS2 port, its an old-school connector used with Mice and Keyboards. It is not an audio port.

No its not! I wish my board had a PS/2 port.. Asus forgot it for some reason.

 

Have to use an adapter that has issues with multiple specific keypresses...

The reason why high end board still keep a PS2 port is a matter of perception. 

 

On a USB keyboard, the CPU keeps pulling the keyboard every few microseconds asking “is anything pressed? Is anything pressed? What about now? You sure nothing is pressed?”

 

with a PS2 keyboard or mouse when an action is performed by the user the CPU gets interrupted with “god has issued a command”

 

silliness aside, there is a theoretical benefit in terms of latency to the latter, although modern keyboards and mice support extremely high polling rates rendering it a moot point.

 

a tidbit, the PS2 port is named after the IBM PS2 computer, but its proper name is a mini-DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung)

AMD Ryzen 3950x under a Noctua D15S, 32 Gb G Skill FlareX 3200 DDR4 running at 3200 CL14, Gigabyte Aorus Pro 570 Wifi, Gigabyte 2070 Super hooked to a Dell U2718Q 4k HDR monitor & an Acer 1440p 144hz IPS panel of some kind, an Inland 1 TB M.2 PCIE 4 main drive, a Samsung NVME M.2 250Gb, WD Blue 500Gb  and 1 TB SSDs, Corsair RMX750, Rainbows and butterflies...
