Please check:
That /dev/hdc is symbolically linked from /dev/cdrom;
That /cdrom is the mount point for /dev/hdc, at /etc/fstab;
That the CD player is configured to either /dev/hdc or /dev/cdrom;
That you computer has analog audio from the CD.
If your system has only digital audio, you have to use a CDDA (Compact
Disk Digital Audio) player, like XMMS (kinda clunky for this use) or Totem
(upgrade to the latest version before trying to use).
Recent notebooks, like the Apple iBooks, tend to have only CDDA to cut
costs associated with analog CD audio. Because GNU is not nearly as
common in portables as in desktops, this tends to be overlooked by
developers.
