Dumb questions for AOpen AW850 sound card
I just purchased an AOpen AW850 sound card. I am new to sound cards.
Of course, I got what I paid for and the AW850 manual is totally lacking in instruction in how to hook-up the hardware, (lots of software info, but no hardware info). My current system has an onboard sound system. I will be disabling this onboard system and installing the AOpen PCI card. The AW850 has connectors for inputs for CD-IN, Auxiliary, PC speaker and what appears to be modem in and modem out. I have a CD RW, a DVD player and external USR modem. I assume that I don't need the modem in/out. But do I need to connect my CD RW and DVD player directly to the Soundcard. Currently there aren't any separate cables from the CD or DVD to the motherboard. I assume that the sound is included in the IDE cables to the motherboard. Will this same signal not work with a sound card? Or do I need to purchase cables to link the CD & DVD to the card. Finally, if I do need cables, the AW850 has a choice in input for the CD, one for Sony and one for Panasonic. My drives are OEM and I have having difficulty determining if mine are Sony's/Panasonic's or if they fit one of the standards for Sony/Panasonic. Is there a way to determine this? Thanks for the help. Darrell |
