When I added sound to my system a few months ago I had many of the same
problems that you seem to be having. Some CD players would not install,
others would install and config, but then gave errors when I tried to
run them. I don't remember, now, which programs gave which problems.
The only program which workesd correctly, for me, right from the start
was gcd and that is the one that I am still using. I am listening to a
CD in the background even as I type this response. The program may not
have a lot of bells and whistles, but it does what I need it to do,
which is play CDs.
