Hi All

I have a PIII 700, 512Mb RAM, Sony 52x CD ROM, LiteOn CD Burner etc...etc...etc.

I have just got a SoundBlaster Live Value and Creative Inspire 4.1 4400 speakers.

Connecting the speakers to the card is easy enough but could someone tell me the best way to connect the 2 cd drives to the SB Live.

Both drives have analogue and digital outputs and the card has inputs for :-
CD Audio - analogue
AUX
CD SPDIF - (Whatever that is ??)

I would like to know which drive should go into which input and the difference / benefits of using the digital outputs.

Many thanks

Thanks fo the replys chaps

Just to clarify something - should I connect the CD-ROM Digital out to the CD SPDIF on the SB.

Would this give improved quality over the CD Audio connector.

If I did this would there be any conflicts with connecting the CD burner to the CD Audio.

I suppose what I really want to know is what are the benefits of digital over analogue ?

Many thanks again.
