I'm definately new to linux, however in general, you can't get CD sound
unless you have the CD audio cable running to your sound card, it might
also be in backwards if you have it in. You should have on your CD-ROM a
40 pin connector (ide, 50 if scsi) a power cable, and another 3-4 wire
connector which runs directly to your sound card, check on that.
