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 computer's 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.
