Wait you don't have any
x16 slots?
As for kscd, I needed to delete the old configs and reinstall the associated
packages and now I can play an audio cd. Thank you Slavek.

Thanks for this info. The PC (strangely) only came with two PCI-E x1
(non-open-ended) slots, despite that system being two years *newer* than
this one (which has two PCI-E x1, one x16 and one legacy PCI).
One of the x1 slots in the other PC is being used by the network card.

Ok word of warning.
If you suddenly lose a sata port, move the card.
It's ok to put a x1 into a x4, 8 and 16 slot.
Also, if you don't get any sound out of it, but it's completely detected,
make sure the optical port option is OFF. You'll find that in the
switches section of kmix.
let us know how it goes,
Kate Hi Ed,
OK kscd does need the cable however, Amarok, smplayer, vlc don't.
I think anything that can use advanced audio setting or software like
pulseaudio will play without the cable.
I hope this helps,

It still works! :)
For added measure, I also installed the codecs for Audacious, which
included a CD codec. And it is playing a music CD, without the cable
attached to the CD/DVD drive. What a difference!
The other desktop has a free PCI-E x1 slot, so I have ordered the same
Creative SB Audigy FX card (Amazon, USD $36.99). Will have it tomorrow.
