Kevin,
I had exactly the same problem on my laptop, my audio CDs would not
have any sound.
I did this Applications-->Preferences-->More Preferences--> Multimedia
Systems selector.
I had the Default sink to ALSA and I changed it to ESD for gnome (Artsd,
if u have kde).
Then I hit test, I could hear a tone. I also changed the Default
source to ESD.
I was able to get audio cd sound fron kaffeine.
The reason has something to do with analog vs digital cable between the
cdrom and the motherboard.
HTH,
Shashank
