the computer has a Gigabyte model GA-8S648FX motherboard with integrated AC97 audio, integrated LAN, 8X AGP slot, 3 PCI slots, and IDE connections for 2 HDD's, 2 ROMS, and FDD(1.44 MB).
Power Unit is 400 Watt Kentek 20/24 Pin ATX ,12 ATX, and 4 pin Molex and SATA connectors.
the agp card is ATI 9550 Radeon, 256 MB 8X (1.5V),3D graphics Card.
the OS is WinXP Home Ed.
the drivers were all installed from the website for the motherboard.
I installed Western Digital 80 GB, 7,400 rpm IDE Hard Drive
I installed a HP CD-RW/DVD-ROM, Model 3OHC-4832K-CT2 on the secondary IDE header.the drive shows up in the BIOS as a combo CD/DVD 4832K drive,
Windows lists it as "a lite-On combo CD/DVD 4832K" drive in the CD/DVD ROM Drives in Device Manager.problem is it isn't a lite-on drive.
the ROM Reads Cds and DVDs, but when I put in an audio CD, it plays but no sound comes out of speakers.
I tried removing the F_Audio connector and replacing the jumpers on the F_audio, I tried just removing the jumpers, and the F-audio connector.the only result s I get are:
1.when I plug the speakers in the front, I get a loud noise, and 2.if I plug them in the back, no sound at all.
the ROM was just purchased slightly used.
is it the motherboard or the ROM or something else causing this problem?
what can I do to resolve it.
Hp only has driver for the Lite-On Combo drive.
