The CD audio can play through the sound card via that cable you mention, but its volume level is controlled by a separate mixer which is defaulted to "Mute" surprisingly often :( Also, the identity of that mixer can sometimes be unclear. I have encountered sound-cards that allow the CD's cable to be connected to any one of several inputs, each with a different mixer, which may or may not be labelled as "CD Audio" or "AUX" or "Line In 2", etc. --- James
