What is this wire from the sound card?

[Death Metal Moe]

<p>OK, I put together a computer for my bandmates Bob and Jenn made from any old computer my father's company was getting rid of, Ebay parts and a lot of help from my friend Grim Sanity.&nbsp; One of the last things it needed, and I can't believe I didn't see this, but it was without a sound card.&nbsp; The comp was so old it didn't even have one of those integrated ones off the motherboard.</p><p>So I got one new and cheap off Ebay again, but it didn't have that little wire that goes from the CD drive to the sound card included.&nbsp; I believe it lets you play CDs through the speakers like a regular CD player.&nbsp; Otherwise you can only play sound files.</p><p>My question is 1st, am I mistaken about what that wire is and if I really even need it in the comp?&nbsp; </p><p>2nd, what the fuck is it even called and where can I get one?&nbsp; I've been searching for it for days now.&nbsp; It's gotta be dirt cheap and easy to get and I'm just not finding it.</p><p>As always, a link directly to a cheap one would be appreciated.&nbsp; That is, if you can figure out the tools because they're so wicked awesome.</p>

That wire is only needed if you want to use the
headphone jack on your CD drive. If you don't want to use it or your CD
drive doesn't have a headphone jack it's useless.<br />

<p>Really?&nbsp; Oh, well then.&nbsp; Thanks man.&nbsp; I guess that pretty much ends this one up nicely.&nbsp; </p><p>Still though, anyone know what this wire is called, and where I could get one?&nbsp; Just out of curiosity.</p>

That wire is considered deprecated with the latest operating systems (XP, Linux, etc.).&nbsp; You don't need it at all.<br />

Audio cable.&nbsp; Jesus, why didn't I think of that?!&nbsp; Oh well, I won't be getting one anyway, just wanted to see what key phrase I was missing.

<p>I guess it's that one, I really don't know what the other side of it looks like.&nbsp; I only remember seeing one on my old computer, and just thinking of it for my friend's newer one I just put together.&nbsp; I didn't know it had become obsolete already, but that's cool with me.</p><p>And look at Reef quietly creeping over 10K posts.&nbsp; Nice job, you filthy post whore.&nbsp; How many of those contain the link <a href="http://www.osirusonline.com/" target="_blank">I am a whore</a> in them?</p>
