Hi, Dave, I have the same problem with my audio CD's however mine is spread all throughout other OS's as well....can u hear sound if you connect a headphone to the headphone jack of your CD-ROM drive?? (if ur CD-ROM has one).....also what sound card are u using?? and which sound drivers???....basically with my Opti sound card and using the MAD16 drivers I think there's an option to disable/enable CD support i.e. CD-in for the Sound card, with my driver I think it's using the cdtype argument which by default is disabled....I'd recommend u go through the /usr/src/kernel2.2.17/Documentation/sound files...maybe they'd help....but if you do have a phone jack on ur CD-ROM drive then please check to see first if sound plays through that, since it could be a drive fault.
