cdplay is sending output through the analog or digital line on the cdrom |
| 19 |
drive, "to the soundcard". If there is not a line plugged into the sound |

card, then you will not hear sound. Many cd playing applications now will |
| 21 |
read the cd itself rather than just sending the play command to the drive. |
