No Audio From Optical Discs

[Brian Puccio]

I'm able to play flac and other file formats fine, but cannot hear a CD 
play, nor can I rip a CD with cdparanoia (using grip).  I can play a DVD 
using totem/xine, but can not hear any audio.  Can someone please help 
me get the audio from my optical drives to my sound card?

Fedora Core 2--Brand New Install (couldn't get Debian to install)
Adaptec 39160
Plextor CDROM
Toshiba DVDROM
M-Audio Revolution 7.1 using analog outputs to stereo amplifier

I've adjusted all levels in the mixer to the maximum volume.  I've did a 
few google searches and a lot of people seem to have the same problem, 
not with just this soundcard.  It appears that I need a cable in 
addition to my SCSI cable running from my optical drives to my 
soundcard.  That simply isn't possible here, take a look at the card:

The same with their Audiophile 2496 as well:

If Linux can not play a CD without that cable than back to Windows I go. 
  Thank you.
