The CDROM has a direct analog link to your soundcard, so it will work even
if the card's driver doesn't.

Do you have sound compiled as a module and what soundcard do you have?
What do 'lsmod' and 'cat /dev/sndstat' give?
A first try to see if sound does work is 'cat /boot/vmlinuz >> /dev/audio'
:-). Turn the volume down before. If you hear weird noise, the card works,
if there's silence, it doesn't.
