Which audio and output plug you reffering to? The one the front of the cd-rom?
*arch_angel peeps into the little hole on his cd-rom*
I don't see any pins in there mak! What you talking about?

[makaveli]

no not on the front AA, on your CD ROM drive follow the audio output to the pins

I seem to remember LGGR from somewhere as well as RGGD so i knew it was 2&3. AA, he's actually talkin bout that little grey (usually) 2-wire cable that comes with 4pin jumpers on both ends that u connect to the back of the drive & the mobo or sound card if not onboard so that you can get cd audio through ur sound device.

I think that's a correct explanation
