Question AIW 8500 - ? Why do I have CD Sound?


I installed a new ATI All in Wonder 128Mb 8500 the other day and forgot to hook up the audio cable from my CDRW. Just noticed this when I changed out a couple of fans today.

Why am I getting sound from playing a cd when there is not an audio cable connected to the back of the cdrom, sound card or all in wonder card????????????????

I did connect the ATI output adaptor to the A/V OUT which has a lead connected to the Line In on my sound card.

Does the sound carry thru the IDE cable????

Confused

yep, you hit the nail on the head. the audio cables are not necessary as it can be transfered through the IDEs. Back in the day (before ATA/ATAPI...) when all CDROMS used PIO mode or slower the audio cables were neccessary (I think) but now you are fine without them.

Thanks for the quick replies. Guess that I have been connecting the audio cables to the all in wonder cards and sound cards for so long, it just seemed strange.

Plays Dreamworks Video CD's, Audio CD's, MP3's, Games, etc. Don't use my PC for DVD's, but I guess that would work also. ATI TV and anything else that I threw at it works perfectly.

Thanks Again
