"Audio Reserved" drives
I recently went to a flea market looking to replace an old DVD burner.
Several dealers had OEM Lite-On and LG drives, and on closer examination I noticed something I hadn't seen before. Stamped right into the metal cover of the drive housing near the analog and digital audio out headers were the words "AUDIO RESERVED". Further, the labelling that gives the pinouts and jumper positions deliberately omitted any mention of the two normally-audio headers. What gives? Of what importance would disabling audio output be to an OEM buyer? |
