Click on the Analog checkbox in the General settings window to see the options.   Step 2:  Setting the CD-ROM Unit The CD-ROM Unit setting shows the letters that correspond to CD-ROM drives you have installed. If you have more than one drive, select the one you want to use for ripping CDs.   Step 3:  Picking the Input Soundcard In the unlikely case that you have more than one soundcard installed in your computer, choose the one you want to use for ripping in the dropdown list.   Step 4:  Input Sound Volume Set a input volume level to use when ripping your CDs. The recommended default is about 75%.   Step 5:  Muting Speakers If you don't want to hear your CD playing as you rip it, select the "Mute Speakers while ripping" checkbox.
