often times, the music isn't heard when played from a CD because the
audio cable from the cd drive isn't plugged into the motherboard sound
or the sound card in the PCI/ISA slot.
Once you have verified that the cable is indeed in place, you need to
verify that the 'sound' mixer has a volume setting and isn't muted for
the cd sound input.
If you still don't have sound, then you have to begin the process of
tracking the problem down via modules - I got the impression that SuSE
handles all of this for you.
