How about giving it the full path:
mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/media/cdrom cdda://1
mplayer -cdrom-device /dev/hdb cdda://1
or wherever the device exists on your machine.
Also perhaps verify in a mixer program (alsamixer, e.g.) that cdrom audio output
isn't muted.
Maybe there's no audio cable between the cd drive and the sound card.
