Hey all,

So I have this little problem. I just bought a new DVDR/RW drive and currently have a CDRW drive installed. Now my CDRW drive is my secondary master and I have it hooked up to my sound card for cd sound playback. My question is, my sound card only has 1 cdin plug and each drive has one cdout socket...so how do I hook up both drives so that my system will play sound from both drives? Do I just use the AUXIN plug for the other drive? Is there some sort of Y cable for this?

Thanks.

If you are running 98SE or above you do not need any cables. Just make sure that Digital is checked in the Drives Properties

Thanks to Andy Hui Many Answers to you Many Questions can probably found @ the FAQ Section

I would just use the most expendable drive for playing music CDs and have that one hooked up to take the wear and tear. After all, you can only play one CD at a time anyway.
