AFAIK, that's an old feature on a CDRom that doesn't do anything any 
more? My ROM doesn't even come with a jack.

Try plugging your head phones into your head phone jack behind your PC 
or use a media program such as Winamp (http://winamp.com) to play your 
music.

You can plug your stereo or speaking system into the jack too and listen 
out loud. But I bet you knew that ;o)

I don't know what kind of system you have there, but if your monitor has 
a head phone jack, you can plug them in there also to listen to music 
playing on your PC.

Yours Sincerely,

it only comes out there when you get a  CD player program to instruct the 
cdrom to play the tracks,
in emulation of a stand alone audio cd player.


Programs like "Windows Media Player" and "winamp" may have the option to 
play audio cd's two ways.


1. by issuing a single instruction to the cd/dvd drive to play.
  the cd then plays and sound is available on the analog output at the front 
(headphone) and the back little 4 pin connector that connects to your sound 
card (if theres a cable doing that!).

2. by reading the data from the cd using many instructions and the program 
can then process the sound (equalise,  filter, etc) then play out the sound 
card (even if there is no direct cable between sound card and cdrom )

For Windows Media Player - In windows xp, go to
control panel, sound & audio devices, hardware, then double click on the cd 
drive in question and go to 'properties' and  untick 'enable digital CD 
....'  there.


For other cd players, its up to the cd player software ..   may in 
'options', thats the typical place for such an option :)
