You should try xmms, its a better player anyway.

What kind computer is this?
The reason I ask is sometimes the analog output
wire of the cdrom drive is not wired to the motherboard/sound
card.  This is especially common in laptops.  
Some windows players will still play the disk by reading
it digitally.  Xmms will to that for you as well if you enable
that input-plug in.  I don't think RealPlayer will read digitally.
