   I just purchased the CHINON CDS-535 drive with 
Future Domain 8-bit SCSI-II controller and hooked up
the audio out to my Gravis Ultrasound soundcard.  My
first CD-ROM purchase was MYST.  The problem I'm having
is that the audio played from MYST has a lot of static 
in it.  When I play an audio cd it sounds great.  I 
realize that the audio from an audio cd goes through the
direct connection from cd-rom to GUS, and the audio from
MYST goes through the SCSI controller to the GUS.  It seems
to me that the audio from MYST would sound better because
it is digital all the way to the GUS!  If anyone has a similar
setup to this, please let me know if you've had success.

Hardware:
  486dx2-66
  Gravis Ultrasound
  Chinon CDS-535 cdrom
  Future Domain 8-bit SCSI-II controller
  16 Mb RAM

Software:
  Dos 6.0
  386MAX memory manager
  PowerSCSI!
     Int4b driver
