Just the obvious question: Are you connecting to the sound card with a stereo plug?
A stereo plug will have two obvious contact areas on it (they'll look like black stripes) for the left and right channels. Just becasue you have a Y-cable that connect 2 wires into 1 doesn't mean the output from the 1 connector will be stereo.
Hmmm... I'm not using any Y cable. The cable connects the line-out of a walkman cd player to the line-in of the sound card.
OK, do the connectors on both ends of THAT cable have two contact points? The *important* thing is that the soundcard needs to get a left and right channel.
... I know I can get stereo out of the cable when I connect the headphones to it.
You connect headphones to the same cable? Don't your headphones connect to the walkman directly and not to some adapter cable?
... I also can get stereo out of the card (into the headphones, or into the columns+subwoofer, from another output jack) when playing a .wav file out of the HD. What I can't get is stereo from the line-in, nor any sound at all from the (internal) cdrom drives (a CDRW and a DVD drive); I don't know whether these two issues are related. Thanks for any help.
A cable from the CD drives to the sound card is required to get sound from the CD drives. Also you mixer settings must have that line enabled.
HTH, Tim
