almost funny that I never considered this.....
Ok Just got around to buying a DVD-ROM drive. Have 2 hard drives and a CD-RW already. I want audio capability out of both optical drives but only have 1 connector on the mobo....What are my options?

Connect the drive without the cable and see if it works... on newer systems it quite often works without the audio cable.

I guess you have onboard. If you do, do what GLC says, if you have a sound card, there is usually two audio cable ports to plug into, one analog, one digital.
