GX280 sound issue with linux.

Question

I have Fedora Core 3 installed on my new GX280. When I try to play a CD with the default audio CD player I get no sound. I opened up the case and discovered the analog audio CD cable was missing. So I got one from an old PC and plugged one end into the DVD/CD player but could not figure out where to plug the other end. The sound card is on the motherboard and there doesn't seem to be a place to connect the analog audio cable. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Figured it out. It appears the sound card on this motherboard requires the same connector that the DVD/CDrom does. The cable I was trying to use had different connectors on each end.

Enable Digital Audio in Device Manager for your sound.
