GA-8IPE 1000Pro-G Audio Question

Just got a GA-8IPE 1000Pro-G and it is working beautifully with my P4
3.0 and Win XP (with 1GB dual channel memory, 80 GB SATA drive and a
NEC CDR/RW drive)...I want to add a second optical drive (a DVD drive)
but can't figure out how to connect the aduio cable to the Mobo (I'm
using the onboard Realtec chip)...I find only one "CD-IN" connector
(no "AUX-IN" or anything like that)...Is there a way to connect a
second optical drive to the onboard sound chip or do I have to get a
separate soundcard? My preference would be to continue to use the
onboard setup...

Any help would be greatly appreciated...


Thanks,
TP

Win98 onwards do not require the audio cable, use Digital Audio Extraction.
Enable it in device manager or control panel depending on your OS.
