What does it do?
Hook it up to your motherboard and it outputs the audio connection to an external device avoiding any digital to analogue audio processing (usually done by a sound card). As the device that is connected with a TOSLINK cable does the digital to analogue processing.
A device that does this external processing for example is the Astro Mixamp for the A40 headset. You connect it directly using a TOSLINK cable and the mixamp does all of the digital to analogue processing giving you clear crisp sound.
Most motherboards have a SPDIF port on the back also known as digital audio however the OP seems to not have it, so this is why the bracket is needed.
