There is an internal cable that runs from the CD-ROM drive to the sound card - you may want to open your computer to make sure that this didn't come disconnected on either end. Without it, you won't hear anything from a CD.

well, i test for the audio cable by sticking in a music cd and if i hear it from my main speakers, i figure we got the audio cable. if i can only hear it from the headphone jack on the cd player, then no audio cable...
if you have your cable installed (have a look??) i suggest you have a look at the configuration of your multimedia devices in Control Panel. perhaps you need to set a different device to be your audio out device...

If you are on Win XP.
-> System properties
-> Hardware
-> Device Manager
-> Expand DVD/CD ROM
-> Right-click Samsung CD-RW, Properties
-> Go to the Properties Page
-> Check the box, Enable digital CD Audio for this CD-ROM Device.
-> Ok.
-> Run winamp and test.

Should be working. No need to fix any cable.

Before doing anything, check to see that you or any software accidentally muted or turn down the volume on your CD audio channel...
