Two sound outputs, one sound header on MB.

Building a shuttle sb65.

The plextor "everything" drive I'm using has sound output.

The ATI video card also has a sound output.

But the motherboard, which has onboard audio, only has one header.


Now, I seem to recall, in the dim recesses of my foggy memory, that one of those devices doesn't need a connecting wire to output sound.

I can't recall if it's the optical drive that can put sound out to the onboard audio through the ribbon cable, or if it was the video card that can put out sound through the AGP slot.

Anyone's memory better than mine?

The optical drive will output digital audio through the data cable. You just have to enable it in "device manager".
