Hi, I just inserted a CD of the Moody Blues, I assume that is an ANALOGUE
CD, and low and behold, yes there is audio.

Nero just advises when disk info is requested that it is a CD. I don't know
of any other tool to advise more.

So thanks Jimmy, for the advice.

Just a guess......
Do you have an HDCP compliant video card? There are new formats such as
HDCP wherin audio and video are transmitted on the same cable. I can't
recall offhand if DVI outputs have such capability but I have a GeForce
7900GT made by MSi that is fully HDCP compliant and apparently it can, with
proper connector/cable send both audio and video on the one cable. This
leads me to believe that modern DVD drives may send both digital audio and
video to the mainboard on the main cable. In addition my SATA optical
drive, a Plextor PX-716SA, has *no* audio connector at all on the drive! So
in this case audio is certainly sent within the normal signal lines on the
main connecting cable. Hope this helps some at least in suggesting what
must be occurring since it is certainly not wireless and as you said no
dedicated audio cable is present.
