CD Audio is (almost completely) seperate from all other system audio.
The exception is that sometimes CD audio won't work until after your
soundcard's been initialized. Point being that what does or doesn't
work when playing CDs has very little, if anything, to bear on how the
rest of your system is configured.

I'd start by checking that ALSA itself is properly configured, and for
any error messages in system logs.
Peace.
