1-4 Knowing and Installing Your Card
❑
If you are playing games in
Windows 95/98 MS-DOS mode
(pure DOS mode), you must:
•
Make sure the CD In connector
and the Analog Audio
connector of the CD-ROM or
PC-DVD drive are connected.
•
In addition, if you get distorted
audio, do not connect the CD
SPDIF connector to the Digital
Audio connector of the CD-
ROM or PC-DVD drive.
❑
If you connect to the Digital Audio
and Analog Audio connectors of
the same CD-ROM or PC-DVD
drive, do not unmute CD Audio
and CD Digital at the same time in
Surround Mixer.
