SP>First of all...ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT AUDIO CABLE
CONNECTED??? 

   I configure, build, and program computers for a living.  So, I would also
suggest that you check the small grey cable that attaches to your CD-ROM.  This
is your CD-ROM's Audio-OUT cable...It attaches to your Sound-Card.  I have
noticed that the CD-ROM's audio pins don't always match up w/ the Sound Card's 
 
   To check if yours does do the following.
   First, get out your documentation on the Sound Card and the CD-ROM.  
   Next, check to see if the pins, there are 4 of them, match up between the   
  Sound card and CD-ROM.  If they do then you're OK,  If not then you might    
 have to re-configure the cable or use the outside RCA plugs.  
  
  If you have to go into your computer....GROUND YOURSELF BEFORE YOU TOUCH
ANYTHING!!!!!!
