Audio CDs may not register in a CDROM drive, as the tracks are not 
recognized as files. An audio CD should play, however, as long as the 
CD-ROM's audio cable is connected to the sound card.

Does the CD-ROM play audio, say, through CD Player?  If it does not, and 
the audio cable is connected, it is possible that you have a bad CD-ROM 
drive.

I know this is basic, please forgive me if I am stating the obvious.
