Using Sound Boards and Audio Cables
Whichever category your sound board falls into, you will find that the best source of
information about installing the sound board in your computer is the board’s manual.
Once you have successfully installed the sound board in your computer, you can
continue below for a description of the different cable connections that need to be
made.
NOTE: Plextor strongly suggests you not use the SCSI connection on your sound
board to control your PlexWriter. You may not be able to utilize high speed recording
(12X) due to the performance of the board.
Audio Cables
Plextor provides audio cables in kits which also include SCSI interface boards
because we are assuming this will be the primary, or possibly the first, SCSI
CD-ROM in your system.
