I don't think you NEED the audio cable to play audio cds off the cd drive, it can usually just run off the IDE cable. I had the same problem with a Cendyne cd burner on my old comp, and cds played fine when I used the IDE cable only.

yeah...it should be and ide cable only...

Some motherboards don't support Digital Audio direct from CD-ROM.

I used to reach my CD-ROM Digital Cable from CD player to Sound Card... now it doesn't reach

I copy all my music from CD now anyway.

Your cd's should work fine
through ur ide cable. digital
audio cable is just for playin
audio cd's directly from the cd-rom
to the soundcard. which means it
doesnt have 2 use any audio
programs like winamp or windows
media player.
hope dats rite.....
correct me if im wrong....
