-=> Quoting JEAN PARROT to LEONARD ERICKSON <=-

 JP> Good morning to you Leonard, how are you today ? 
 
 JP> But my audio access from one CD is not
 JP> useable as my board says that I can connect both of them but
 JP> there is only one set of the four pin "on-board " connections.
 
 LE> Which "board"? Motherboard or Sound card?

 JP> It is a VIA board and the pamphlet that came with it does
 JP> mention the two sets of pins to connect both audio cable but
 JP> there is only the one set built on the board even if there are
 JP> solder pads for the second set, just beside the first one.
 JP> They might have forgotten to instal them, maybe ?

Probably not. That's a symptomn of the second set being an *option*
only available on some tversions of the motherboard those docs are for.

 LE> And double check the docs. Sometimes (especially on motherboards) the
 LE> docs will cover *optional* features that your particular version of
 LE> the board may not have.

 JP> The double check was done but read above. The schematic shows
 JP> the twin connectors but alas, there is just the one set.

 JP> Quality control failure ?

Maybe, maybe not. You can always try asking for an RMA to get it fixed...
