[plug] Sound configuration

[navarre at plug.linux.org.au]

Hello Dave

To recount an experience I had under windows where I had a similar 
situation of no CD audio yet it would play with out problems. The driver 
for the sound card had detected that the CDROM drive supported software 
control of the audio level coming from the CDROM drive its self. This 
effected the external headphone socket and the internal audio to the 
sound card. Again this experience was windows based, there was a slider 
control to set this. You say the setuo works under windows, I suggest you 
check for the existance of some control like this, mine was in the sound 
card setup application mixer, (memory getting hazy). Once this was set to 
max level the sound was controllable via the standard mixer for the CDROM 
audio input.

For what its worth. (Seems you have ruled out most other problems)
