There should be a "CD" channel there. Sometimes, the labeling in the mixer isn't exactly right either, so if the "CD" channel doesn't work, then try some of the others. For example, on my Thinkpad, the CD audio is hooked to the 'AUX" channel as displayed in the mixer, not to "CD". If you can get other audio working, but not CD, check and make sure you have an audio cable running from your CDROM drive to your soundcard.
