connect an Analog CD audio cable (available separately) from the Analog Audio
connector on your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to the CD_IN connector on the Sound
Blaster Audigy 2 card as shown in Figure 1-6.

connect the Digital CD audio cable (included with some models) from the Digital
Audio connector on your CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to the CD_SPDIF connector on
the Sound Blaster Audigy 2 card as shown in Figure 1-6.
• If the Sound Blaster
Audigy 2 card is
connected to both the
CD_SPDIF and CD Audio
connectors on a CD-ROM
