2.Adjust the sound-adapter volume control. See the documentation that comes with your sound adapter and audio-CD player program.

3.Turn off the computer, unplug the cables from the electrical outlets for your computer and all attached devices, and remove the computer cover. Check that the audio-signal cable connects the 40X/12X/40X Max CD-RW drive to the sound adapter.

The connectors on the audio cables provided do not fit the connector on your audio adapter.

Some audio adapters might require a special cable. See the documentation that comes with your sound adapter.
