One thing to check on the applications that play the CD, but do not produce sound is how they are set up to get sound from the CD. I have found that a lot of programs still default to using the analog line from the CD to the sound card, yet most new machines do not have this cable, so you need to reconfigure them to use digital sound over the interface. You then end up suing the PCM mixer control instead of the CD control to control volume...
My sound card is an olde AW320 from Aopen. It does use the little cable from the CD and the sound is OK on F10. Should I really reconfigure the sound card and is it at all possible?
You do not have to reconfigure sound. It may be worth it, depending on the quality of the DtoA converter in the CD-ROM drive, the DtoA converter on the sound card. the quality of your speakers, and how well you hear.
