There are two thing I check first with this problem

1.  Are the cable leads going to the right pins.  Some soundcards or
cables do not have the keyed plugs.  Check and make sure that a hot
signal is going to hot pins and that ground signals are going to
ground pins.  Also, I think SB have two or three different connectors.
Try the others out.

2.  Make sure that your master or cd-audio volume is not on mute or
turned all the way down.  You can usually check your mixer setting by
the little speaker on the far right of your toolbar.  This sound
idiotic, but I get an irrate customer about every 3 months with this
one. :)
