I bought a new DVD-ROM-drive, SATA, and removed the Initio adapter and both CD-drives, the writer and the reader drive.
I now have sound, even without the cable to the soundcard (there is even no plug for it), and had no lock up so far.

As curiosity, one of the music CDs I used for testing is obviously not 100% error free, as the new drive cannot handle it, but the rest.
However, this CD runs well under XP and W2K...
