James,
Thank you. I was not aware of this. I suspected this must be true, but
felt the need to ask yet another stupid question.............. :)
Does this also work for machines that do NOT have on-board sound
processing? How does sound get to dedicated add-in sound cards?
OK, I will continue shopping for SATA.............
Best,
Duncan

optical drives have been able to output audio over the databus for a
good decade or more, there's no need whatsoever to run a separate
cable from the drive to the sound hardware these days.

Thanks FORC5,
I will dig a bit deeper at the Egg into specs and what comes in the
"box".
OK, I think I may go with this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106287
But, when I look at the back end, I notice that there is NO output
for Audio.
What have I missed?
Am I looking at a dedicated "burner" that can not read/play a music
CD also?
Or, is there something else about SATA I do not understand?
Or, ???
Just a bit confused now.
Best,
Duncan
