NEED HELP WITH PLAYING SOUND!!!!!!

[gwgman]

Currently, I have no sound card in my computer, because it is not compatible with windows 2000. But, I do have a cd burner on my computer. When I put an audio cd in the burner and put hooked up my speakers to the sound port connected to the burner the sound worked for the cd. I was wondering if there was any way i could tell windows to use the sound port from the cd burner as the sound card for the computer?

Don't think so, not the same thing.

Any Other Suggestions??? Be open minded!!!!!

Buy a cheap new one that is supported by win2k.
Unless of course you're into music production.

YEAH, BUT I REALLY WANNA SEE IF THERE IS ANY WAY TO. ANYONE KNOW A LOT ABOUT CHANGING HARDWARE PROPERTIES AND STUFF SO THAT I CAN LOCATE THE SOUND CARD IN THE CD BURNER THEN TELL THE COMPUTER TO USE THAT AS A SOUND CARD?

ideas???

1) What soundcard do you have

2) Your cdrw is not a soundcard. It will only play cd audio.

nope, there's no sound card in your CDRW. It can only play sound from an audio CD.

Try running a cable from the headphone jack on the burner to the input on an amplifier. This will undoubtedly work, but I don't know about quality. Also, you might have to make your own cable.

Oh, and you'll need some speakers.

It would probably be easier to pay $5-$10 for a cheap piece of cr@p sound card.
