Open the machine (be carefull about warranty labels), find your
CD/DVD reader/burner, check if out of the standard flat (usually
is grey) cable and the power cable (red, 2 black, yellow)

there is another cable (usually is thin and gray).
this one:

If you find this cable, remove it: XP does NOT use the "standard
audio out" to play CDs, instead it uses directly the "data stream"
digital mode; so this cable is useless and usually it picks the noises
from the HD heads and other electrical noises on not-so-high-quality
audio chips.

Hope this helps...
