Lets say in the CD-ROM, there's a song. And I want to play it but the CD-ROM's data cable isn't connected to the Motherboard.So even though the song can be played, I can't hear the music being played?* The Sata Power Cable is attached to the power supply *
The power cable will just power up the CD drive but NO music goes to motherboard and its sound port. Even just connecting the small audio connector between the CD drive and motherboard will produce sound output. Connecting the data cable to motherboard enables Windows to read and play the music files.
