I do connect the analogue audio, but I've never needed to use it as I haven't had any trouble with digital extraction.
It's connected... but I don't know why..... :blink:
I used to before I got XP, no point now.
No, I don't.
At first I didn't know you were supposed to, but since I've never had any problems I don't see any point in starting now.
You've always used XP?Quote:

XP doesn't use the analogue channel, so there's no need to connect it.
Yup.
I am a nOOb.
Only turned on my first PC two years ago.
I don’t because I find the CD-ROM adds to much noise (through the sound card).
Anyways, Anyone here ever tried digital out. I have yet to see one connect like that.
I've never even seen a sound card with a connector for the digital out, or a cable to use it for that matter.Quote:

it is not connected in my main PC. but i use my second one for game emulators and i finally found a reason to connect the analogue cable in that one: Magic Engine requires it in order to play the CDDA in PC Engine CD-Rom games. dunno why. it just does. (yes, according to both the emu's author and my own fiddling around with it... i'm not drunk or anything. :P)
WinXP can use the analogue connection from a CD-Rom. it's just unnecessary with like 99.99999% of modern Windows programs.
