You don't get sound control because the unit is plugged in as a Data
connected device. The analog control and analog sound output are not
actually connected to your PowerBook. A different driver might give you
control of the sound tracks on your Reno Drive but you still have to
plug a cable into the sound out jack on the drive and plug it into the
sound in jack on the back of the PowerBook. Most people don't realize
that the sound in CDs in their computers is actually coming through a
seperate internal Analog sound cable to the sound card of the computer.
With Laptops this is a bit more complicated but essentially, to hear
sound our of a CD ROM drive on that PowerBook you need at least that
sound out to sound in cable.
