Q: I have a CD-RW burner and standard CD-ROM drive is connected via IDE. I also have the analog audio cable connected to the CD-in port on the motherboard, because that is what the manuals say in.
I just plug a DVD-R burner, but the lack of third-in CD port.
What exactly do these wires do?
I was told that I can just my DVD-R burner to add using the IDE cable and not worry about the analog audio out cable.

Re:I just pulled the cd audio cable out of my old system and put it in my new system(WinXP) cuz I wasn't gonna spend 15 bucks on a new cable. But what you're saying is that I don't need it anyway? That would be cool.

Re:Yes. CD audio when played is normally converted to an analog signal by the drive. In XP it just scans the disk like a data disc, rather than in 1X "audio mode". DVD's and SVCD's are not considered an "audio disc" by the drive, they are designed to be read digitally by the software only.

Re:What if I'm playing a VCD or DVD?
So it's for audio cds only?

Re:They're for analog audio data transfer to the onboard sound controller. This is only done when you're playing an audio CD using CD player software like Windows Media Player, Winamp or the Windows CD Player. It doesn't happen during ripping to wav or MP3 files.
In WindowsXP, the analog audio cable is unneeded, because XP reads the audio CD digitally and transfers it via the IDE bus just like a data CD. So there's no limit to how many CD/DVD drives you can play audio CDs in. You can also unplug the ones you have to reduce the cable clutter.

Re:Those are just for your to play music CDs, nothing else. So if you just designate one of your drives to play music CD then you'll only need to use one of those audio cables to CD-In.
