    Doubts on 2 cd drives

    When u hve a dvd-rom n cd rewritable-rom, how do u connect your audio line to the sound card in yr pc.

    as the audio line can only connect to one drive.
    or is there such thing as a splitter?

    I think some sound cards have an auxillary connector on the board, take a look in the vicinity of the connector you're using now. Never heard of a splitter. Anyway, why bother? If the DVD is connected I don't see any reason to bother connecting the other CD drive as the DVD will play anything and you can't listen to two at once..

    No worries! It wil still make sound. It sends sound through the ide port. No music cd's is the only dif. Then just amke up your mind! Use the dvd for all audio and dvd playback plus games and save your %duty cycle of TTL of cd-rw for burning. Thats what I do.

    What's wrong with your keyboard? Doesn't the 2 key work? The SHIFT key is obviously broken.

    There are splitters for audio MPC to MPC.


    My motherboard with onboard sound has only one cdrom audio in, and no auxiliary in like many good sound cards (and some bad). You can use the above cable to attach 2 cdrom drives to the cd audio in.

    Some places to get this cable:

    http://www.pccables.com/05014.htm

    Note: The above cable does not eliminate cross talk like the one below.

    This can be had here:
