I'd vote for a hardware problem. Specifically the first thing I would
check is the cable that goes between the CDROM drive and the soundcard.
My guesses are in descending order of probability:
a) One of the leads has broken
b) It's not connected properly
c) One of the connectors (could be either end) is bad
c is the least likely, but I've known it to happen. Most likely it's
either a or b, in which case it's an easy fix.
