are you sure it's a software problem?
Last time I saw a CD-ROM on an older desktop, there was this
thin 3-vein cable that needed to be connected from the drive to
the sound card/motherboard. Besides the IDE and power cable.
Forgetting that, I had the same issue: I could rip and list CD
tracks, but could not play the CD directly using e.g.
cdplayer.exe. (Yes, it was Windows). But some other players
could do it---apparently they were using the IDE interface to
access the PCM data, not just triggering drive's native play
mode.
