Most sound cards have at least 2 internal connections.
1 for CD's and one for Auxilary devices
(which of course can be used for CD)
More recent ones have 2 for CD's, and 1 for Aux.
You're sound card must be an old one.
You're best option is probably to buy a new sound card.
But you could also bring your 2nd CD Cable outside
the case and plug it into the external Auxilary connection
(assuming u have one), which will require a new connector.
