new soundcard: can get Windoze sounds but not from cd-rom

just installed a new soundcard. Now I can get Windows sounds like windows start sound etc but when I put in
an audio cd - there is no sound.

any ideas?

There should be a small audio cable that goes from the CDROM drive to the audio card... usually has a small 4 pin header on it that slides into the CDROM connector on the opposite side of the power connector... and then there should be a CD-IN connector on the sound card I would think.

Check it out :-)
