System - IBM Netvista with a installed cdrom
installing 2nd device - dvd/cdrw
Do i need to include an audio out cable in both cd machines
the dvd/cdrw still works if i dont include but it seems to run slowly
if i dont include it...does it mean i wont have sound...or what

154234 2003-06-22 12:51:00 I actually didn't use the audio cable on my cd-rw which is slave. (Nowehere to put it on the Motherboard as the cd-rom was there instead)

Strangely, I can play audio cds on the cd-rw, and rom :)

like PoWa the mother board does not have a video card to attach the cable to, so being that its a dvd/cdrw will the sound come through even though it does not have the audio cable attached directly to it.
i have the dvd/cdrw as slave
cdrom as master
i will probably change them around this afternoon as i am sure the dvd/cdrw will get used more.
then i should probably attach the cable to the dvd/cdrw and leave out the cdrom

154236 2003-06-22 23:25:00 Hey, as stated before, the audio cable is only for playing audio CD's in analogue mode.
You can still listen to a music CD if you are using digital mode (Check in Device Manager on the drive properties) and you will still be able to hear sound in movies as it all goes through the data cable (wide grey one)
