Installing Audio Cable, Completing Installation

Audio Cable (optional) - If you have a sound card and speakers, and would like to play audio CDs on your computer, you will need to install a CD/DVD audio cable. Toshiba's Combo drives use a standard 4-pin audio cable that can be purchased from most local computer suppliers. The sound cable connects to your sound card at one end and the other end connects to the digital audio connector at the left rear of the Combo drive (see Combo drive Back Panel photo for location). Refer to the instructions that came with your sound card for details on any sound-driver software required.
