Are you using an audio cable between the CD drive and the sound
card? Or are using digital audio from the drive?

 If you are using an audio cable, check that the CD audio didn't get
muted in the mixer, and/or try another audio cable. You can also try
plugging headphones into the jack on the drive, and see if you get
audio there.

 If you are using digital audio, make sure an upgrade didn't change
the settings to the analog audio cable from the drive.
