I have a PC and a DVD Player
So I wont need a Audio CD player
But this is just a experiment. My Benq 52X32X32X has a 4-port audio out jack in back panel. connection pins are:
1 - Right OUT
2 - GROUND
3 - GROUND
4 - Left OUT
I put a molex connection on the powee port of the ROM.
but when I connect my amplifier to pin 1 and 2, It sound's nothing --- A silence of night.
IS it impossible to use the audio out port ? Or is my experiment will never succeed or any other wrong of mine ? can u telll
I'll post the pictures next day

Hi Paswa,
This feature may not be available with all CD/DVD ROM/RW drives. Its only available if the drive has an onboard amplifier, so that it can convert the digital information from the audio CDs to analog audio, which would then be available through the connector you are trying to use.
However, nowadays, the digital information is communicated to the computer through the IDE/USB cable and the OS/media player does the conversion of digital to analog and passess the audio to the soundcard so that the signal is audible.
Maybe you should lookout for a drive that has a "play" button, which does support this function.
Thanks,
Nitin.

Short answer: yes. That is how I run my diy cd rom player
mr. kraut, what chip you use as dac?
do i need any ATA controller to use the cd drive as a Audio CD player?
I don't use a chip - I feed the signal into a behringer src 2496.
This unit is my quasi "digital preamp"
And I use a controller sourced from here:

and mounted everything in a 1 RU housing
The unit on top is the cd player

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

you can also check with sakda.
He uses an atmel at89c52 chip ( I think this one is the same as in DIY Biz) and

as the display.
My unit is in a rack, and not so easy to remove.
