CD Audio on D975XBX2 mobo

[jvk-list at thekrafts.org]

   I bought the board without looking at the audio parts, because "every"
   board has a CD in port.  Turns out this one doesn't, it uses digital
   CD Audio and doesn't use the connector anymore
   ([1]http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-014753.htm
   ).  Are there any options for playing CDs with FBSD on this board?  I
   can rip the disk to MP3, then play that; but are there any ways to
   just play the disk?



   Thanks for any pointers in the right direction,

   Joe.
