the problem is that there is no actual cable. the only connection between the sound card and the cdrom is through the motherboard. soundcard to m/b through the PCI slot and m/b to cdrom through the ide connector. i am not sure exactly how it is done, unless windows is somehow reading the bits on the audio cd and sending it to the soundcard ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Leftwich" <Hostmaster@Video2Video.Com> To: "Gautham Ganapathy" <gauthamg123list@myrealbox.com> Cc: "FreeBSD Questions" <FreeBSD-Questions@FreeBSD.Org> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 11:44 AM Subject: Re: Audio CD without cable > On Tue, 26 Mar 2002, Gautham Ganapathy wrote: > > Hi - How can I play audio cds without having the cable that connects the cd-drive to the sound card ?
