In my experience connecting the sound cable to the drive is not a problem, but getting the other end placed correctly on the sound card or motherboard pins is sometimes tricky. But maybe SATA drives carry the sound signal in the SATA data cable? Somehow that sound signal has to get to the sound card or motherboard. But I've never used a SATA optical drive, so I don't know how they might be different. Wait, you said you had sound out the front speaker jacks. Then the signal must be getting from the drive to the sound chip. I'll shut up now. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
