I really can't anwer the question, and the reason is that I don't use the
cables anymore.  I know at one time they were necessary, but things just
seem to work without them now.  Have you tried just forgoing the cables
altogether?  I'll be watching this thread to see answers from those who have
a better clues than us as well.

The latest software like windows media player can read audio cds over the
ide connection. So you don't have to use either the analog or digital audio
connection if you are using software that can do that.

OK, I never said I didn't know what a digital signal is.  The question is
why do they only tell you to connect the DVD player to the Audigy card when
both my PLEXTOR CD/RW and MY PIONEER DVD have digital connections.  Why
should I have to castrate one or the other to analog when a digital
connection is available?

Hi everyone,
I thought I'd be nice and help Miami here with a link to some relevant
source material, this is the reply I received.
"Hey Lee,

Thanks for wasting both time and bandwidth with your useless answer.  For
your information I did read the FUCKING manual (which is quite incomplete
and poorly written) and the answers are obviously either not in there or
they do not completely answer all of my questions which is why I posted it
on the newsgroups.  So please either provide me with a useful and pertinent
reply to my post or go FUCK YOURSELF, you are stupid piece of shit."

Can we all chip in and try a little harder to get this guy some answers?  He
may be on the verge of some kind of episode.  Thanks for your time and
patience in this matter.
Yours truly,
POS....

Well Lee if your gonna go an post this bullshit on the newsgroup and waste
even more time and bandwidth then at least be a man and post the "WHOLE"
story.  As I said before you and your information are useless and therefore
I can do without so this will be my only post as it is off topic.

Here is a copy of one of Lee's emails to me prior to my reply which by the
way I completely stand by and mean from the bottom of my heart please GO
FUCK YOURSELF:

I thank the people who have emailed me with useful information I truly
appreciate it.

Most people don't consider reading the manual "useless" information.  The
online manuals I tried to point you to have a lot more information than the
2-pager that comes in the box.  Don't worry though, we're all here for you.
And I got all the bandwidth in the world, you idiotic prick. Take some anger
management courses.  You'll live a longer life.

They probably figure you will want the better sound from the DVD drive.
Depending on on what kind of CDs you play in which drive, I would put the
S/PDIF connection to the DVD and analog to the CDRW, and play any music CDs
on the DVD and games on the CDRW, since with the games I play (First Person
Shooters) I am too busy dodging to care if the sound is digitally perfect.
But, if I'm watching a DVD, I want the best I can.
