*sigh*
(you really could have taken a look at the list archive)
Audio CDs are not mounted because they don't have a file system.
Especially they don't have an iso9660 file system. Use the player or
ripping tool to play or read them.
Note: If you use konqueror, you can configure the audiocd plugin to be
able to access CD tracks from within the file manager. However you
probably have to switch on ide-scsi emulation for IDE drives and change
permissions on /dev/sg* first (changing ownership to root.cdrom and
make them group-rw should work).
And if you really, really want to mount audio CDs, you can install the
cdfs driver (I think it is already included in Debian). It was designed
to make sessions or audio tracks on CDs visible as if they were files.

Try some mixer program (kmix, aumix,...) to see what the channels are
set to.
