Cd-Audio-Connectors; General - TerraTec EWS88 MT Manual

CD-Audio-connectors.

The AudioSystem EWS88 offers two separate audio connections for
your CD-drives. The ControlPanel, however, does not access them.

General.

One of the very useful features of the AudioSystem EWS88 is its ability to accommodate two
CD drives (i.e. your DVD-ROM and your CD-R). The CD1 and CD2 connectors are electrically
separated and can be controlled individually. However, you won't find the volume sliders in
the EWS88 ControlPanel.
The connectors are MPC-compatible (Multimedia PC).
The socket layout and signal path are as follows:
Cables are usually supplied with the CD drive. If not, they can be purchased at specialized
computer shops and chains.
The CD-connections are routed to a module called (AC97-) Codec, which is widely used in
sound cards. EWS64-users will have heard of Codec – it uses this chip primarily for gaming and
multimedia applications. We have not implemented the (high-quality) AC97-Codec on the
EWS88 ControlPanel for good reason. You can gain access to the volume sliders (this includes
the separate 18-bit SystemSound output) through the standard windows mixer.
