Not that I know of.

It's a Dell, isn't it? I understand that many recent models physically
don't have the cable between the CDROM and the sound card. Windows will
effectively rip the sound data off the CD and send it via the PCI bus
(or whatever) to the sound card.

Under Linux, you can get xmms to do the same thing: my "sent items"
mailbox brings up this link...

Hope this helps,

James.
