CD-ROM not detected

I could not solve this problem. As my installation was giving me too many problems and made the computer to run slow I tried a lightweight distro (Parrot Linux Home) which is also based in Debian and has some nice programs installed. I have no problems anymore with the CD/DVD drive (the same I was using) and the computer runs faster. It was possible to boot from CDs in BIOS before, that was not the problem. I wanted to open an audio CD. I imagine it has to do about Debian Policies and restrictions in terms of non free firmware and software at least in some installs.

Code:

00:17.0 SATA controller [0106]: Intel Corporation 200 Series PCH SATA controller [AHCI mode] [8086:a282]

And another thing, are there any hd* device nodes in /dev/ ?

Sorry Emerson, I decided to give a try to another distro,Thanks.

You do not open audio CD-s, you play them. Audio CD-s cannot be mounted like data CD-s.

Audio CD media can be opened with software like VLC for playing. You do not normally mount music, you play it.

In Ubuntu install CD-Drive package: sg3-utils
Suppose it's the same in Debian.
