Yamaha CRW8424E - Manual (Page 27)

Installation
! Connect the audio cable between the CRW8424E drive and the computer’s
sound card, or the motherboard’s audio connector if it has built-in audio.
One end of the audio cable has two connectors: a vertically-mounted type
(PH) and a horizontally-mounted type (MPC). Choose the one that matches
your sound card’s connector. The connector at other end of the cable is
connected to “AUDIO OUT” on the CRW8424E drive. Make sure the
connector’s lug is at the top.

You do not need to connect the audio cable to write audio CDs since the audio is
passed over the IDE bus. It is required to play¸ back audio CDs on the CRW8424E
drive via the computer’s sound card. However, if a CD-ROM drive is already
connected to the sound card, you should use this drive to play back your audio CDs.
To listen to audio CDs without a computer sound card, connect headphones or
speakers to the headphone jack on the CRW8424E drive’s front panel.
