My new office computer (an IBM ThinkCentre 8212-UN7) has a CD-ROM drive,
but no audio cable comes out the back of it, and there's no place on the
motherboard to plug one into it. Predictably enough, when I bring up a cd
player (e.g., xmcd), I get no audio output, but cdda2wav produces a
perfectly fine audio file.
Is there some new standard for CD playing that doesn't require this cable?
Is there some new software I should be using?
