all in wonder radeon 7500 audio out

[DustinSkye003]

i recently bought an all-in-wonder radeon 7500 to go with my nforce 2 delux mobo. The mobo has integrated audio. I went to connect my radeon's internal cd out to the mobo's cd in. One problem... they don't match... They both have four pins, spaced the same distance apart.... but the connector is smaller on the video card than on the mobo... Is there any kind of connector that would work between the two? I have the sounds running externally through the line in input in the back. But i'd rather not use up that input on something that COULD be connected internally. please help.

Dustin,

Here's a link to one of ATI's articles on this:

What I think you need is a "universal" CD to sound card, internal audio cable from your local computer supply store. Best Buy, CompUSA, etc. should have one. Just make sure the connectors match-up.

PS: It has worked fine on my old Radeon AIW for a couple years.<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1><EM>Edited by bw37 on 07/19/03 01:35 PM.</EM></FONT></P>

OMG this is SO FUNNY! OK, what you need is a CD-Audio cable! They makethe most common ones in TWO types, MPC to MPC and MPC to Creative. That is, the cable types are often called "Black to Black" and "Black to White". Go to a local computer store and buy a "Black to White" cable, this connector was invented by Creative labs (IIRC) and used extensively on their SoundBlaster cards.
