Could be a config problem indeed. Check out the various list archives, as
there are two methods to play audio CDs. The most popular one requires an
audio cable between your CD drive and your sound chipset. The other one
requires special audio software which accesses the audio CD digitally.
E.g. XMMS >= 1.2.8 includes a plug-in where you can choose between both
analogue/digital playback. Since Red Hat Linux 9 doesn't include that
version of the player, you may need to install the audio cable, or upgrade
XMMS, or get a plug-in like xmms-cdread (e.g. the add-on for Red Hat Linux
9 from http://fedora.us).
