you have to plug in the cable that came with your cd drive, to the
motherboard. then u can get sound from the headphone jack on the cd drive.

cd drive to a socket on the motherboard.

Yes, I'll try it. But, far as I know, the digital CD audio does not need to
be routed through sound card. I remember at the early times, i.e. still
using Win3.1, we can simply plug in the earphone to listen the music while
at office.

Digital sound will not come out of the front audio jack on the CD drives.
This jack is only analog and you need to connect the sound card analog cable
between the CD drive and sound card. Then, you need to tell the Windows
driver to use analog sound instead of digital.

This jack is a "left-over" since the start of the CD Rom drives.
