Just to be clear, it should be noted that both CD audio and WAV audio use
device drivers. The CD audio cable just connects the CD-ROM drive to the
sound card.

Most of your audio goes to the outputs on your sound card; however, CD audio
is sent out through the CD-ROM drive's audio-out ports. The cable connects
these outputs to the sound card so that your CD audio can play on the same
set of speakers as the rest of your audio.
