You may have answered your own question.  Your CDROM drive has an
IDE interface.  Your soundcard has Panasonic and Sony interfaces.
These are proprietory interfaces and though physically the cable
may fit, the signals sent are different.  

For the CDROM drive to work, the sound card must have a EIDE
interface on it (which yours doesn't).  Though the brand is Sony,
the interface is an industry standard IDE interface.

Hope this helps,
Paul
