But I was thinking the digital out could be passed
directly to the
sound interface.
You mean extract the audio through the IDE cable? I tried this, for supposedly
better sound quality, but I found the increase in noise from the drive
spinning faster negated any audio quality benefit.
If your onboard sound chipset does not have an analogue CD input, has it got a
digital audio input? Some CD-ROM drives have a digital audio out connector.
