New DVD player, no Audio

[Josh Whitney]

Win2K svc pak 4
I have a CDROM on this machine which works fine, audio and CD.
I added a new DVD/CDRW burner today and it works OK reading and writing CD's
but when I put in a music CD, the player reads the music cd and loads the
player and starts playing but no audio.
If I swap it back to the original, it loads and plays, audio OK.

I couldn't find anything in the documentation that describes this behavior.

Everything is OK except no audio on playback from the added DVD burner.

Any ideas of where to look?

TIA, GWB

Did you connect the audio output of the DVD player to your sound card
input?
It is an internal connection usually with a 3-lead (red-white-black) cable.
Most sound cards (also when integrated on the MB) have multiple audio input
connections (e.g. aux).
