Headphone Jack/Volume Control.

To listen to an audio CD from the CD-ROM unit you may insert a standard headphone cable into the headphone jack. If there is a audio CD player utility installed on your PC, you can listen to audio CDs directly from the drive. The software functions like a typical CD player, letting you choose tracks to play, etc. The audio can be heard through your PC’s speakers if you connect the audio out connector of the drive to the CD input of your sound card. The volume control on the front panel controls headphone volume only.
