Putting together a system with a Lite-On 52X CDROM drive and a DVD-ROM as well (don't ask why, they just want it this way). Trouble is, CD music through the 52x comes out very faint and scratchy. Everything else about the machine is great -- plays DVD sound, system sound, and CD-ROM sound properly through speakers and when discs are put in the DVD drive. Headphone jack works good too. I've tried replacing the drive and the cabling, and that has made no difference. Any inspirations as to what I should try next?

Asus motherboard, Win98SE, Asound PCI sound card.
