Playing audio CDs on a CD-ROM drive
You can use a CD-ROM drive to play audio CDs on your computer. The sound will be
heard through the computerÕs built-in speaker (or through headphones or external speakers
if you connect them appropriately).
Use audio CD software (such as AppleCD Audio Player, part of Mac OS) to play the CD.
The volume control on the AppleCD Audio Player controls the output level of the CD-ROM
player, and should normally be set at maximum volume.
The CD-ROM output then may be routed from the CD-ROM player to any of several
outputs. The volume you hear from the audio CD is controlled by one of several controls,
depending on which output you are using, as shown in the following table.
