This 2-pin multimedia digital audio cable is designed to connect CD-ROM or DVD drives directly to the internal digital audio input jack on a sound card. By using this cable instead of a standard analog audio cable, one can ensure the sound card is receiving an ultra-high quality, hiss-free audio signal. This hard-to-find cable is compatible with sound cards that are capable of using digital CD signals, such as SoundBlaster Live.
Allows greater flexibility in positioning of optical drives and digital sound cards
