About 18 months ago I built a new PC and fitted a DVD/CD drive that had a sound output.
Early this year I built a similar box for a friend and fitted an optical drive that was similar to mine, only to find out that it had no sound connection! It was (or as close as i can get after 10 months)

Now, how is it possible to tell if there is sound (seems daft having a CD/DVD player with no sound)? Scan's site doesn't mention it and it's not on a couple of other suppliers' sites that I've looked at.
Trying to find out from the manufacturer is slow, laborious and, given the minor variations, not necessarily accurate.
