It's not a dumb question, but I did (I suppose you mean the analog cable, I don't have a digital one, although both the driver and the card have the corresponding connectors). Anyway, the thing works in another OS that shall remain unnamed... Maybe alsa has let its mark on the system? I recompiled KDE with USE="-alsa" and rc-update'd alsasound off the boot runlevel.
Are you sure this other operating system is playing through the audio cable at all? emerge xmms and try to play the cd through that. If thats a no-go, try the xmms-cdread plugin (switch via prefrences) and see if that works.
THe other operating system I have on this system reads the data from the disc and plays it from data, rather than throwing the drive into play mode, and thats what the xmms-cdread plugin does as well. Theres probably something similar for noatun, or whatever KDE uses nowdays.
