1. What is the technical name for a female to female audio cable splitter that uses the red/white RCA (standard low definition TV) audio cables on one end and green 3.5mm (computer stereo / mp3 player) audio cable on the other? One came with my GPU but the instruction manual doesn't say what it's called.

2. I want to buy an internal SD card reader. But all the ones I've seen come with cables like this (http://images17.newegg.com/is/image/newegg/20-213-010-S04?$S640W$) and my motherboard doesn't have any spare slots like that on it. That particular card comes with an adaptor that converts that weird 9 pin square slot to USB. But, that would mean having to run the interface for my card reader out the back of my computer and into an external USB slot. It would work, but it would be really jank looking. Is there any way that I could buy some kind of adapter to convert that weird 9 pin jack to something like PCI, PCIE, or SATA?

I think it would just be called a female 3.5mm audio jack to female RCA audio cable.

I just found what I needed.

I just found something similar to what I need. The "weird 9 pin port" is called JUSB I believe. This (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815150099&cm_re=sd_reader-_-15-150-099-_-Product) thing will convert from USB -> PCI. So, if you can do that for an external USB slot. Theirs probably no reason why you couldn't convert from an internal JUSB to an internal PCI. But, I don't know if they sell such a thing.

Nevermind, I just solved my problem. I bought a PCI USB2 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815158078) adapter that has an internal USB port. Now I can plug my internal SD card reader that uses an external USB port into it without having wires coming out of the back of my case.
