Win '98. Just installed a LITEON CD-ReWriter, ATAPI-EIDE Interface. Installed as a slave device on the primary IDE and it's working fine. Did NOT hook up its audio cable. Already had a CD drive for playing CDs/DVDs and it is set as the default Drive to use for such things. After rebooting, no sound from anything. I've run all the sound troubleshooting routines from the Win Help files - to no avail. Am posting this to several places, hoping to find someone who can help. Thanks!
 
Some sound cards do not need a physical connection to the CD. Try disabling the sound card's CD input.
 
check to see if there's an audio conflict in the device manager...if ur audio device has a yellow exclamation point, then there is something conflicting with its ability to function.
