Sorry if this is a newbie question but..
I know there is an 4-prong analog and an 2-prong digital ports on the back of my CD roms, but I'm unable to connect a 2nd digital cable to my X-gamer sound card. I orginally thought that the reason the 2nd drive was silent was that I used a poor analog cable that didn't fit only one way. I'd like to play audio CDs while playing games that require the CD, and I use the CD player that came with windows 98se.
1. Do I need to have the digial cable for cd's? I thought the CD format wasn't digital.
2. What's the 4-prong for if data goes through IDE, and the audio goes into the digital?
3. How do I remedy the problem?
Thank you for any help in this matter. Is there any website that discuss this? (Google and AT came up with nothing.)
