Hello to all from unusually warm Germany:

I currently am using an Ensoniq PCI Sound card which has four internal connectors for standard audio cables.  And it will play all four at the same time!

My DVD, 52X Creative CD-ROM, my Plexwriter 24/10/40 burner, and the FM radio card are all plugged in internally.  And on the back is yet another available aux plug for the standard pin-type (headphones, speakers).

> You can put the audio cable on whichever one you use for audio.  YOu should buy a second cable for your DVD to play movies, assuming you use the primary audio cable for your CD to play music.  Plug the second cable into the aux plug on your sound card.  You could put a cable on your CDRW if you use it to play music, but to my knowledge, most sound cards have only one aux plug.  Maybe someone else on the list knows of a soundcard on which you can run three devices (not at the same time, of course, but without having to open your case and switch cables).
