  Linux is very "conservative" about IDE devices modes by default, so if
you are sure that it will be safe (see hdparm man page), say: 

hdparm -u1 /dev/hda 
hdparm -u1 /dev/hdc

(or whatever devices corresponds to your IDE disk and cdrom). hdparm
man page lists some other options that may be useful, however -u
(interrupt unmask) is most likely to fix sound problems.
