| 75392 | 2002-08-31 22:38:00 | Hi, can someone please give me the lowe down on the digital output from the back of a cd-rom. I notice that i only have a cord connected to the analouge output. Whats it used for? I have just a crappy onboard soundcard, could i use it? |

| 75393 | 2002-08-31 23:33:00 | you'd need a digital capable sound card (eg a Soundblaster Live!) and possibly also digital speakers (expensive), although I'm not sure on the digital speakers bit - you may get away with regular ones. You'll only be able to use the digital output bit if you've got a digital input on your soundcard - they only have 2 pins, as opposed to the analogue input's 4 pins. Mike. |

| 75394 | 2002-08-31 23:53:00 | Yeah - you'd need the 2pin connector as well - check inside your sound card to see if it has a digital socket. Remember though if you have both analogue and digi connectors, don't enable them both at the same time. | Greg S (201) | ||
