Speaker Systems
If you are playing games in
Windows 98 SE MS-DOS
mode (pure DOS mode), you
must:
• Make sure the CD Audio
connector on the Sound
Blaster Audigy card and
the Analog Audio
connector on the CD-ROM
or DVD-ROM drive are
connected.
• In addition, if you get
distorted sound, do not
connect the CD SPDIF
connector on the Sound
Blaster Audigy card to the
Digital Audio connector on
the CD-ROM or DVD-ROM
drive.
