i think its so you can plug your headphones into the cd drive to listen to music, but i never hook it up either.

You dont need that cable, the cable is there for lagacy audio data (although there may be a neato use in modern applications) .. for the most part, audio data is transmitted via the IDE cable

If you do want to make use of that cable, plug it in ... and you'll be able to use the drive as a music station before the drivers are loaded (i.e., hardware level audio player)
