Bryan, I have the DAK/Sony external CD ROM drive. Having recently received a disc that tells me I need the Multimedia Extensions to hear the audio, I would like to know when DAK will have the upgrade kit available. I understand I need a sound board and believe that the CD ROM may need to be driven directly from it. A reference earlier this week to the Soundmaster Pro board that I followed up left me with the impression that it would only work with the Panasonic CD Player. I do not believe these systems are brand specific but it is possible that the drive needs to have a SCSI interface. As the Sony seems to have a proprietary interface will it therefore need a special sound board? Do you have any further info? Maybe another forum member who is knowledgeable could enlighten me on the hardware that is actually needed. I consulted my Microsoft Programmers library CD, but it is still not clear how the audio travels from the disc and Player to the sound board. Barry There is 1 Reply.
