Select CD-ROM Drive

if you have an audio card which has more than one audio input source you will have to select the input source for your cd-rom with a mixer application which comes with your audio card. For example with the Soundblaster Pro comes the SBPro Mixer, with which you can select the recording input source.

Connecting your audio board with the cd-rom drive

For recording audio data from your cd-rom drive you will have to make a connection between the card and the drive. Depending on the card and the drive you own, there will be different solutions to do this. On most cd-rom drives you will find a direct audio output connector on the back of the drive. With a Soundblaster Pro card you could make (or buy) a cable which connects this output to the cd-rom input connector on the audio card. With other cards you have to make (or buy) a cable which connects the audio output connector of the cd-rom drive to the line-in connector on the audio card. For more informations look at the manuals of your audio card and your cd-rom drive.
