There is a cable from the cd drive, and it is securely attached.  I do have 
cdread enabled in xmms (I think that's the name) instead of cdplayer, and 
that has always done it for me in the past.

I've been through all the mixer settings.  I can't find anything wrong there.

This box was using on-board sound, and cd playing worked then.  The trouble is 
that it wasn't used for sound for quite some time, so I'm not sure in what 
order the problems started.

I have two DVD drives - a reader and a writer.  The writer is hdc and has the 
audio cable.  In the past I was able to use hdc with xmms, and oddly enough I 
could play a cd digitally using the front-panel buttons on the dvd-reader.  
At some point it all stopped working, even system sounds.

I installed the SBLive card, and now system sounds work, but I can't get any 
music.
