Just checking.. :P i guess i am too used to the people i work with.
Does this ("the sound card does not need to be supported ...") mean that the audio signal from an _audio_ CD, travels over the scsi cable? (I don't think that is what you mean)?

Most sound cards do not even need to be initialized to make the amplifier portion of the sound card work. the problem sounds like one of the following. 1 broken cd audio cable. some of these cables tend to be very fragile.. 2 broken connection pins on the back of the cd rom.. (they are connected to the same circuitry the headphone jack on the front of the cd rom is connected to) 3 bad connection pins on the sound card.
There is an additional place for a cable to be connected. The back of the drive looks something like this:
