I had one in there - 4 pin CD to CD1 jack on the motherboard - same thing.
It wasn't until tonight that I tried to use this Cd player for music. I do
get internittent sound. I thought I needed that cable. Spent $5 for it today
(my old one had different end on it (tiny vs this one which is the same on
both ends)) and the CD is the same either way. Does the .cda output go to
this 4 pin cable ?
I couldn't figure how the factory CDRW works fine via the same IDE cable
(cda files too), but it does.
After I hooked up the new cable and cda files were bad, I figured to try it
wothout the cable - same thing.
Why / how does it require the 4 pin cable ?
Any setting I need to change ?
Thanks.
