so i finally finish my retro pc build only to find i have no sound when trying to play back cdrom audio. my dvd burner has both digital and analog output pins and i've attached a cable to the mpc port on my awe64 gold. i've checked my mixer settings to make sure cd-in is not muted, but there is no sound other than midi & sound effects.

this lg 22x model is the absolute highest quality burner & reader i have ever owned--not even the previous benq title-holders can touch it. i hate to lose it, but since i don't think i'm doing anything wrong i'm going to assume that the audio pins aren't hooked up to anything (unless someone specifically contradicts me here).

i really don't want to compromise on quality with another brand. seriously, even the benq dw1655, which was touted as one of the best ever, is not even an ok burner when stacked up against the GH22LP20.

does anyone know of any late model lg burners with confirmed working cd audio?
