That's because it's win-sound. In Windoze the CD drives are playing
digitally thru the motherboard using a combination of hardware and
software. Like all win-hardware situations it's a big drain on system
resources. The direct cable connection is analog and doesn't drain
system resources. Personally I hope Linux never develops win-hardware
solutions. It's bad enough that junk win-modems are now tolerated.
