I don't have sound working fully on my box either, so I won't be of much help, but I can tell
you that the sound from an audio CD doesn't feed through your system software; it goes
directly from the CD drive to the sound card to the speakers. The only part that the system
software plays is to control the CD drive, and MAYBE control the volume.
So in other words, just because you can play audio CDs doesn't mean you've got sound working
on your box. Wish I had more and better answers for you....
