68jimmy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Good day. This may seem like a noob question but here it goes... I have two DVD drives, one is an RW which is hanging off the IDE port the other is a -R and is attached to the second SATA port. Neither of the drives has an audio cable that plugs into the on-board audio. When I play a DVd I get no audio thru the speakers and I'm nt sure if it is because of an audio driver issue or a cable issue. Do I or do I not need the audio cable from one of the DVD drives to the on-board audio connector? Thanks in Advance. donovan Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/55160-audio-cables-from-dvd-drives/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
sarahbau Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 You do not need the audio cable. I'm surprised drives even still have them. The last time I used one was in 1997. Since then most programs get the data digitally rather than through the audio out.
