In Windows, is the "Use Digital Audio" option turned on for the CD-ROM? 
Because a lot of machines now don't actually have an audio cable hooked
up between the drive and the sound card (check this on yours).  Try
using cdda2wav or (preferably) cdparanoia to rip audio from the drive
and pipe the output through aplay:

e.g.   cdparanoia -w 1 - | aplay -

This should give you sound.  If there's no audio cable on your CD-ROM
drive then your best bet is to go out and get one - they're very cheap
little bits.
