It's an eMachines box that had Windows XP on it but I never booted XP. I just assumed it had a cable if that was required. Typically (on my machines - this one is my wife's first Linux box) I use alsaplayer which plays digitally and I do not have the audio cable. I guess gnome-cd doesn't do digital playback? I'll check the cable, and I'll check shich drive (DVD or CD) has the cable. Could be either I suppose. thanks for the feedback. - Mark
