This is a Frequently Asked Question.

I'm assuming that normal sounds play just fine, but CDs don't. In that
case, your computer probably doesn't have a sound cable between your
sound card and the CD drive. Install xmms, and from the menu, choose
Options -> Preferences. Look under Audio I/O Plugins and Input plugins
for CD Audio Player, and choose Configure. Then choose Digital audio
extraction.

See if that helps.

Hope this helps,

James.
