This looks like the two-wire cable between the CD ROM and your |
| 13 |
soundcard is missing or loose. I'd check this first. If this is a |
| 14 |
laptop, it might well be that the connection between the two |
| 15 |
subsystems was left out intentionally by the manufacturer to save a |
| 16 |
couple of cents. Some do that. :-( |
