I replaced my Soundblaster Live with the 2496. Seems to be working
fine, however:
My Soundblaster Live had a cable running to the cd-rom (I believe).
This cable is attached to that soundcard and does not seem to be
removeable. Should I buy a new cable and attach the cd-rom to the
2496? Is there even a spot on the 2496 to attach it to a a cable for
the cd-rom? There was no mention of having to do this in the manual
or installation instructions. I can open the computer back up and
look but I thought maybe some of you who have installed these would
know.

If there is no spot for a cable on the 2496, does that mean I can't
use my cd-rom anymore? I have an external USB DVD writer so it's not
really a big issue but still. Should I put my Soundblaster Live back
in and try to run both cards? I read somewhere that Windows doesn't
like to have two soundcards? Someone here must have some experience
with this.
