no sound from cdrom headphone jack
« on: October 23, 2004, 07:31:40 AM »
I recently upgraded my computer from windows 98 to windows me.  Upon doing this, I have now lost the sound output from my headphone jack on the front of my cd rom.  The speakers still work fine but there is no output on the jack.  Any help would greatly be appreciated.

check  the back of the cdrom drive to see if the single  grey cable from it is connected  which goes to  the motherboard is  also connected...

Thanks for the advice but there is a cable already installed from the cd rom over to the motherboard.  When I disconnect this sound cable I lose my sound to my speakers.  Another side note to my problem is that the cd rom has a button to play the cd directly which then allows the headphone jack to work properly.  Any more suggestions would be a great help.

That's a downgrade not an upgrade.  Go back to Win98.
