MP3s are data files that are read and decoded by a Windows program and
sent to the sound card. CD-ROM and CD-RW drives also include cirutiry to
read music tracks off a disk, and send them to a headphone jack usually on
the front of the drive, and to the amplifier on the sound card by way of a
special 4-pin cable inside the PC.
If you have both CD-ROM and CD-RW drives in a single machine, do they each
have a cable to the sound card? If you plug headphones into the socket on
the drive front panel, can you hear the music then?
