In the box box of assorted leads and discs I got with the new PC was this lead and I havent got a clue what it is, any ideas? the plug seems to be like an audio jack plug but no idea what the other end is.

Looks like an IR sensor for a TV card remote control to me...

 

With an audio jack? That would be USB surely?

 

Naa,plugs directly into the card, not the computer. I've got one of them kicking about someplace, and thats exactly what it was for...

The card does, in the same way that you get noise coming out of headphones when you plug them in using a stereo jack connection. Its just an IR sensor so requires very little power.
