Can someone tell me what could be wrong:

I installed a second CD-drive and I believe it's since than that I have no
longer sound from audio-CD's. As far as I have controlled, I think all the
settings are right, concerning multimedia in the properties panel. The audio
cable connected to the soundcard is OK. I also tested another card, same
result. Audio from CD is enabled and I recieve none error messages. When I
insert a CD, the audio panel comes up and starts playing, although without
sound.

IDE-configuration:
MB-primary = 2 x HD
MB-secondary = HD (master) and CD-RW (slave)
Soundcard SB32 = CD - drive (master)

The audio-cable is connected with the CD-RW. Connecting with the other
CD-drive gives the same result.

Any help is welcome,
thanks,

Willy

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. :)
