So if I have this right, you have a drive that works, and a player 
prog that works [the elapsed time for a track changes] , but zero 
output to the speakers for .cda
JJ was right, you don't mount audio cds, they are stored in a 
"differnt language" than data, and have to be "translated" by the 
Analog Digital Converter, which is what rippers use to make the 
"raw" music into wavs or mp3s.
In the spirit of "check the cable" , check your sound mixer to 
make sure the slider for CD Audio isn't inadvertently set to 
minimum or muted.
It does happen , BTDT.
