    If the sound card is an onboard one, the motherboard will have the plug
    on it somewhere. Time to find the manual :)

    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?
