How do I hook up a CD Rom and a CDRW to the same soundcard?

I have a soundblaster live... First of all I want to know if it is possiable? I am pretty sure that it is. If it is possiable then can you please tell me how to do it?

There is an AUX connector on your sound card, you can plug the audio cable from your CDRW in to this connector.

Doesn't that have digital in? If not, then you might be able to splice one cable into another.

KillerBug - Not sure I would do that...you could
feedback a signal to theother CD/CDrw's output.
Best to do what LJE2 suggests, then you can
switch this in your mixer control (ie CD or AUX)...

Ok, I have a SB-Live and a CD-R and a DVD. I ran the aux and cd connections to the cd players at first. This works just fine.

I later found it was much better to use the digital output from my DVD player to the SB-Live because it sounds better that way. I had no luck using the digital out from the CD-R, I guess it just doesn't have the capability the DVD does!

Either way works just fine, just set the cdplayer programs volume control to adjust main volume and leave the cd players individual sliders all the way up.
