do you have an audio cable from the analog output jack on the back
of the CDROM drive connected to the CD input on the sound card? You
need that. I think that the later versions of Windoze Medium Player
support transporting digital audio thru the PC data bus, but AFAIK
for linux you still need the analog cable.
having verified that, fire up the volume control/mixer applet and
see if you need to adjust any sliders or mute buttons.
