Probably you have other options in Applications--Sound and Video. "CD Player" is one example. If none of them work, which I suspect, read on ... Very often, the inability to play CD's is a Linux quirk: you know that thin cable you used to have running from your CD-rom drive to the sound card? Windows doesn't need it anymore, most of the time, but Linux still does. Without it, you can't get sound from the CD out to the speakers. My work computer has a removable CD-rom drive that isn't designed to handle a cable. I get around the problem by ripping my CD's with grip or Sound Juicer, and playing the .ogg format output with xmms, Rhythmbox (Music Player), xmms, Totem, or xine. It's more work, but it's a good excuse to rip my CD's.
