    The one on the CD player is only usable when you are playing a music CD in the drive. It won't produce general PC sound.

    Are you sure there is not already a headphone socket? It would be exceptionally unusual if your PC didn't have one.It may be around the back, sometimes with a green plastic ring around it. Usually there are three similar looking sockets together, one for headphones, one for a microphone and another called "line out".

    or similar should do the job, although as bonzer says it would be very unusual for your computer to not have one already. How are you getting sound output from your computer at the moment
