| 51355 | 2002-05-29 01:25:00 | I have a compaq presario. When installing a cd-writer I have found that the audio cable from the writer to my sound-card cannot fit. The connection bit to my sound-cad which is built in to my motherboard (so I have been told) . I can record cds (music files-mp3) but no sound can be heard when playing that cd through my computer. The file is playing but no sound is heard. Any ideas? |

| 51358 | 2002-05-29 02:13:00 | The cable is long enough but cannot fit on to the points from the motherboard. The cable came with the cd-writer, there was no adio cable from my cd-rom. | Guest (0) | ||
| 51359 | 2002-05-29 02:36:00 | go buy a audio cable from your friendly PC suplier, Dick smith used to sell one with three different plugs on one end, these will fit your Compaq | Guest (0) | ||

| 51361 | 2002-05-29 05:15:00 | There are different cables, (not just number of pins, the position of earths and signals differ). Isn't it nice to have standards? ;-( . The rude crude fix is a cable with a stereo 3.5mm phone plug at each end. It goes from the headphone jack on the CD player front panel to the Line-in connecton of the sound 'card'. |

| 51362 | 2002-05-29 06:48:00 | i forgot to mention to make sure whatever program you are using to play cd's with is 'pointed' to the cdr. also you may need to upgrade the aspi drivers. have a search around a few sites have a copy. also the some cdwriting software have upgraded aspi drivers in it. also why are you useing the cd writer to play instead of the cd player? cd writer will last longer if you just use it for burning. |

| 51363 | 2002-05-30 03:27:00 | I have brought the three way adio cable from dick-smith. Not one fitted. Surely there is an easier way! Has anyone had this problem. Not to keen on taking it to the shop. | Guest (0) | ||
| 51364 | 2002-06-01 02:16:00 | yes its true...some motherboards the audio and video are in the motherboard itself plus others the scsi or raid controller is also intact as well. if u are desperate to use ur cdwriter for audio listening...just take out the audio cable that ur normal cdrom drive uses and bring it with u...go to your nearest electronic stores and show them what ur after..and also if u got the right cable u might wanna go to the BIOS and 'enable' where the 'Line Input' or 'Line IN' (something like that, different motherboard has different saying), for the audio is...cuz ur cdrom drive might be using the 'audio in'..while the 'line in' , u will be using for ur cdwriter.
