Yes, there is a wire from my cdrom drive to my sound card. But what intrigues me is, if I am able to play an audio cd directly then I should be able to hear a sound file from the harddisk right? since both the data has to be processed by the sound card to reach the speaker and for that it has to recognise the correct driver. Is this true?
I dont think so. AFAIK, when playing an audio CD, the data is directly sent from the cdrom drive to the soundcard via that wire, and the soundcard outputs that sound. This is all hardware. This doesnt mean that your sound card is configured in the OS properly. So music played by your OS might not be played by the sound card.
