No sound from CD because CD-ROM drive not connected to sound card
Cause:
CD-ROM is not connected to sound card.
Solution:
Connect CD-ROM to sound card.
CAUTION: Only a qualified computer technician should perform these installation, diagnostic or maintenance tasks.
The CD-ROM requires two connections to work correctly. The first is the bus connection that allows the transfer of data. Usually this is a SCSI connector of IDE or EIDE connection. The second is the RCA plug on the back of the CD-ROM. External CD-ROMs use RCA connectors that look like speakers on a stereo. Internal CD-ROMs require a connector to the sound card.
To connect the CD-ROM to the sound card:
1) Plug the speakers into the audio jack of the CD-ROM drive.
2) Connect the sound card cable to the CD-ROM drive and the sound card
