If the sound card does not work, how can you expect sound from the CD????

Fix that first, and for us to help we would need to know the type of 
sound card, what related modules are loaded, and if you have used aumix 
or equivalent to turn up the volume (it often defaults to minimum volume).

In fact that is my first suggestion...... check the mixer to make sure 
the volume is not turned completely down.
