New member with CD audio problem

[paul]

I am extremely new to Fedora 2 and could do with some advice.  I have
installed and am using Fedora core 2 version ( 2.6.8-1.521 ) but I am
unable to hear any CD audio. 
My soundcard is working fine and the CD player can find and play the
music but I don't hear a thing!
On a separate drive I have Windows XP Pro and that plays ok.
Thanks in anticipation.
Paul
