My 1693S initially had the same problem with the earphone jack not working
when playing back audio CDs, and I later found that the firmware (version
KSOA) installed in at least some of the drives did not turn on the earphone
sound. You can verify which version you have by looking in your Windows
Device Manager under CDROM/Properties, and the new firmware flash that
updates this is version KSOB, downloaded as file DR16KS0B.zip (613 KB) from

Scroll down that page until you come to the section for the 1693S. I believe
this flash update just came out about a month ago (Oct. 2005). If you don't
know how to flash update, the instructions are at
