try right clicking on the drive, doing properties, and turning off digital audio extraction. |

I thought the IDE cable was for data and streaming, and the audio port on the motherboard was audio out to a front-mounted headphone port. The audio port on the back of the drive would be for this. No? --- End quote --- The IDE cable is for data. The Audio cable is for playing CD-Audio directly out of your sound card/device. I don't know why you can't play audio CDs straight out of the jack. There is a setting in the properties to 'enable digital cd audio for this CD-ROM device' though this won't give you what you asking for. |

I don't know why it won't play straight out the jack, either, but it's the same on two other computers I have. About the audio cable, if I disconnect it while playing a cd, I still get audio out the internal audio port. I notice in the volume properties that XP counts it as wave output. The CD audio slider does nothing. |
