audio cable connection

Thanks for the response. I saw that 4-pin connector on the board. I hooked
it to my cd-rom and it is working. I have another problem. Why can't I get
the volume or mixer icon in my systray? When I attempt to activate them thru
control panel/ multimedia, there is no option active to do so. Everything is
sort of grayed out. Can you help me with that one?
Thanks,
jll

This condition is usually symptomatic of the audio drivers not being
correctly installed. Try uninstalling/reinstalling them and see if that
corrects the problem.

Eric,
Thanks for the reply. I got the thing straightened out by trial and error.
It took a combonation of my integrated sound driver and one from M$ called
MPU-401 Compatible, whatever that is, and now it's music to my ears.
Thanks,
jll
