I'm running FC4 with a KDE desktop on a new Pentium 4 dual

DVD drive using Windows Media Player without anything unusual happening.
(I mention this only to eliminate the obvious hardware issues.)
With FC4 the system recognizes my soundcard:
Vendor: Intel
Model: Corporation 82801FB/FBM/FR/RW/FRW (ICH6 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller
Module: snd-hda-intel
and plays the usual test tune.
The mixer KMix shows all the outputs turned on with 75% volume
(except for PCM which doesn't seem to have a mute function.)
The CD players xmms and KsCD both appear to be playing from the
drive but I can't get any sound.

OK, I popped the case. There's no soundcard in the PCA slots so it must
be on the motherboard somewhere.... I don't have a clue where to
connect that CD cable. My dealer said this machine used a newer
architecture but it can't be that new! Are there any linux settings or
linux cd-playing software that get around this problem?
XMMS can play a CD using the digital interface.
The menu selection is well hidden.
XMMS -> options -> preferences -> input plugins -> cd audio player ->
configure -> digital audio extraction.
KSCD also has a digital option, but it doesn't work for me.
