Hi there,

Having just been given a pro audio studio for chrissie, I had to purchase 
an interface card for my old panasonic 562b cd rom drive. But to my shock 
horror, the audio cable which used to fit from my cd rom to my old sound 
blaster pro no longer fits in the audio socket on my interface card nor 
my sound card....so now I've given up doing that and have to plug to the 
front of the drive if I wanted to hear cd audio. 

My question is, aren't all cd audio cables the same? It's interesting to 
notice that the sockets on my sound blaster pro, interface card, and the 
pro audio studio all have DIFFERENT cd audio cable sockets...why is this 
so? and are there any "converters"?

Thanks

Haye Lau
