When playing audio CD's make sure you have read permissions to the CD drive, you would do
#chmod a+r /dev/cdrom (changing cdrom to your device eg /dev/hdc)
Once you have read permission you then need to start a CD player application like KsCD or Gnome CD Player, make sure it's configured to play from the right drive and you should be good to go. Hope this helps.

Are you trying mount the audio CD? If so, don't. Music CD's don't have a file system, and can't be mounted -- J.W.

i not try to mount the audio CD, i trying to listen to the CD using cd-player(xmms etc), but it said drive error and can't play the cd

To check that problem, first check your hardware and make sure that the audio cable between the cd drive and the sound card is plugged.
Then use something like totem, or xine or Juk to play
Goto the player options and check if the cd device is the one you're using.
