Are you sure? I've never seen a Widoze box play music without that sound cable.
I can verify what Mr. O says. In Win, one can activate DMA for the ATAPI CD-ROM device, use DIgital Audio extraction, and NOT connect the cable for analog output; playback an Audio CD and get sound on speakers.
Can anyone refute the assertion that Linux can NOT do DMA, DIgital Audio extraction; i.e., playback an Audio CD WITHOUT the analog output cable connected to the sound card???
