Santa Cruz - FAQs

CD-ROM - Digital input setup
The Santa Cruz CD-Digital input works both for Playback of audio CDs and 
Recording to your PC's hard drive from an audio CD in your CD-ROM drive.

Instructions for setting up the CD-Digital Input on the Santa Cruz:

Windows 98 and ME (VxD drivers):
--------------------------------
1. Make sure you connect the 2 pin CD-Audio cable to the Santa Cruz 2 pin
connector labeled "CD SPDIF IN". The other end connects to your CD-ROM's
Digital CD connector (see note below).
2. In the Santa Cruz Control Panel, select the Mixer tab
3. Click the Advanced button located under the Compact Disc fader. This button
is marked [?]
4. In the Advanced Controls pop-up menu, select On/Digital from the Digital CD
drop-down menu.
5. Click the Close button.


Windows ME, 2000 and XP (WDM drivers):
--------------------------------------
1. Make sure you connect the 2 pin CD-Audio cable to the Santa Cruz 2 pin
connector labeled "CD SPDIF IN". The other end connects to your CD-ROM's
Digital CD connector (see note below).
2. In the Santa Cruz Control Panel, select the Other tab
3. Select Enable CD Digital Input

Please see the article "CD Audio & 2 Pin cables are not needed - Win 2K / XP"


NOTE:
-----
Most CD-digital cables are keyed so that the plug can only be inserted
one way in the "CD SPDIF IN" on the Santa Cruz card. Some of these cables
may not be keyed correctly for use with the Santa Cruz (the positive and
negative leads may be reversed). If this is the case, try removing the
plastic key from the plug and inserting the plug the other way 'round in
the "CD SPDIF IN" on the Santa Cruz card.
