Specifically SB 2.0 and earlier cards before creative added CD audio headers. I realize today its a dumb question since it wouldn't make any sense to spend more money on a 1350 when you can get a 1600 for less that works better and has cd audio. But I have to imagine in 1992 there were plenty of people with earlier cards that wanted to upgrade to CD but didn't want to shell out for a whole new sound card. Was there any solution for them at the time? I suppose it wouldn't be hard to make a custom cable that went from cd rom to aux, it's just l/r/g and have it plug into the AUX in. But did anything like that exist back then commercially? Just something I've been wondering about lol
PS I know there were some external CD Rom's also that has AUX out for audio. I have a backpack that has that for example, but it runs over parallel and my understanding is they are too slow to actually play games off of?
