You can't mount audio cds without compiling an special module (cdfs IIRC). To get the sound working, try 'modprobe maestro' if it works append a line to /etc/modules containing only 'maestro'. Or try the command 'modconf' and load the module maestro (in kernel/drivers/sound or similar). If you use lspci you should get one Line similar to the following: ... 00:08.0 Multimedia audio controller: ESS Technology ES1978 Maestro 2E (rev 10) ...
