If your sound card makes any noise then the problem isn't with your
sound card or drivers. Getting a generic SB card driver running in
Linux is built into most recent distributions. Sounds like you need to
download a music cdrom player. There are plenty of programs made to
play music cdroms in Linux.
Try searching on http://wwwfreshmeat.net or

Good luck,
