Using audio cable for DVD Drive connected to motherboard

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

The instructions to installing my Dual CD RW/DVD RW drive say to connect the
audio cable if necessary. I am running Windows XP Professional with
motherboard built in sound--Soundstorm.

Do I need to attach the audio cable from the drive to my motherboard? At
this point XP seems to be working OK, and I can play CD's etc, I have not
yet loading the DVD burning software. My drive says that it is using
digital audio with the drive.

Thanks for the info. I will leave it hooked up as is without the cable.
