Found the Magic!
Many of us have discussed this before, inability to listen to a cd thru the headphone jack on the front of a CD or DVD drive. Well, I did some more googling and I found the fix!! It's two step correction with Windows XP. First go in device manager, select the drive you want to use, click poperties and unselect "enable digital CD audio....". Then open Windows media player, go to the task bar at the top, click tools/options/devices tab/select the same device as in step one/properties/playback mode, change digital to analog.
You'll have to restart after step one. ENJOY and TURN IT UP!!

Does this only work in XP?

I'll let you know later today about 98. Don't have time to test it this am.

Thanks for the tip. A friend of mine just bought a new computer and he is having that problem. I'll pass it on.

So, you are saying that using digital audio disables the headphone jack? Makes sense to me.

Looks like with 98se, the only adjustment is within Windows Media Player. Just made that change from digital to analog and it opened up the headphone signal immediately.
