Hmm. Maybe it isn't mounting the cd? Try mounting the cd before playing. As root go:

 

mount /mnt/cdrom [enter]

 

or:

 

mount /mnt/cdrom1

 

 

Then try the cd player.

the cd mounts but when the cd player auto starts to play the disc, no sound comes out. aside from that , all else works fine.

i've just installed RH9 on two machines and this happened to me on one machine. i used the sound card detector and the card was working fine.. tried a different cd, it malfunctioned.. went back to the first cd.. worked fine from then on. good luck
