I require some help or suggestions with a problem here.
I recently lost my old computer and swapped the
ISA proprietey SoundBlaster card into which a
Creative or Panasonic drive plugged directly into the Sound card.
Now I'm running a new CD-ROM drive on IDE 1 and I noted
the analog audio cables do not match.
These are both female connectors I'm speaking of.
The old cable for the Creative CD-ROM drive is wired
blank, white, black, red with red to the side of the drive
while the new CD-ROM's cable goes into the drive as
white, blank, black, red
Same order but the blank is in a different place on each plug
and the pins do not match.
Any opionions as to what success or disaster I might
face were I to cut off the connector from the PCI sound card
and wire it to the end of the cable coming from the sound card
soldering the salvaged connector and correcting the wiring order?
Sound card works everywhere but with the CD due to the lack of
that connection and I want to play audio CD's too.
I want to get audio off the new 40X drive but not let the smoke
out of anything.
The PCI soundcard is Turtle Beach which I've heard of but
lack software for so I'm looking for a workaround
with the cable for the Sound card I _do_ have
software for, opinions?
