+
+<para>The first method (which &kscd; refers to as direct digital playback), is performed by reading the digital data from the 
+&CD; using Digital Audio Extraction (DAE).  This data is sent to your machines CPU which converts the digital data to sound.  This method requires 
+a &CD; drive that is capable of DAE (most new drives are) and it requires some CPU processing time to generate the sounds you hear.</para>
+
+<para>The second method uses the internal circuitry available on most &CD; drives to read the data and generate the sounds you will hear 
+without using your computers CPU.  This data is transmitted by a dedicated cable directly to the sound card in your computer.  This method requires 
+less CPU proccessing time, but it does require that the dedicated cable be connected inside your computer.  Not all computers have this connection.</para></note>
+
+<para>The checkbox labeled <guilabel>Use direct digital playback</guilabel> determines which method &kscd; uses to read the audio tracts.  If there is a mark in the checkbox, the first method is used.  If there is no mark in the checkbox, the second method is utilized.</para>
+
+<para>If you have selected direct digital playback, a dropdown box labeled <guilabel>Select audio backend:</guilabel> will let you select which 
+sound backend the digital information should be sent to.  The contents of the dropdown box will vary depending on your system. 
+Most users should select <guilabel>arts</guilabel>.  You can also select the device the audio backend uses by entering the device location in 
+the text box labeled <guilabel>Select audio device:</guilabel>.  A full discussion of audio devices and audio backends is beyond the scope of this manual.</para>

+<title>Try using direct digital playback</title>
+<para>There are two 
+ways that personal computers can play a &CD;.</para>
+
+<para>The first method (which &kscd; refers to as direct digital playback), is performed by reading the digital data from the 
+&CD; using Digital Audio Extraction (DAE).  This data is sent to your machines CPU which converts the digital data to sound.  This method requires 
+a &CD; drive that is capable of DAE (most new drives are) and it requires some CPU processing time to generate the sounds you hear.</para>
+
+<para>The second method uses the internal circuitry available on many &CD; drives to read the data and generate the sounds you will hear 
+without using your computers CPU.  This data is transmitted by a dedicated cable directly to the sound card in your computer.  This method requires 
+less CPU proccessing time, but it does require that the dedicated cable be connected inside your computer.  Not all computers have this connection.</para>
+
+<para>&kscd; defaults to the second method of playback.  The next step in troubleshooting your &CD; problems is to enable direct digital playback. To do this begin by clicking on the button labeled <guibutton>Stop</guibutton> on the &kscd; window. This will stop any attempt to play the &CD; for now.</para>
