1. Do you have an audio cable going from your CD player to your sound card/motherboard?
2. Is the audio level muted in the mixer for the CD input?
3. Is your music player application configured to use DAE (digital audio extraction)? If so, no audio cable needed, but the drive must support DAE.

You'll get better sound by using digital audio extraction.
Having the sound travelling digitally until it leaves the soundcard will reduce the noise

Show me one person who can tell the difference 
And what if someone uses a CLI cdplayer (like me)? CLI apps usually don't have DAE support, at least i don't know of any.

Lets build one!
We can "borrow" code from xmms or audacious. It shouldn't be hard

I couldn't care less about DAE, I just want a CD to play for background noise while I'm doing other stuff. As I said, I put in the cable, now it works.
Again, thanks for the help.

Lazy is a console-based CD-Player with FreeDB support and DAE. For DAE, you start it with "lazy -d".

As far as telling the difference, I'm old school. Sound degradation is cumulative. A little here, a little there, and next thing you know you're listening to Hendrix mp3s on some little mini-stereo and telling yourself it sounds great. Not me... when I'm 80 and deaf I'm gonna turn my speakers face down and crank it up until the floor bounces

Okay so there is one 
Anyway the first thing after buying a new cd is to rip it in good quality (44.1 kHz VBR(q=2) j-stereo MPEG-1 Layer III (ca. 7.3x) qval=3, i know good quality is relative so don't bash me :P ), because my 2.1 speakers are 5 times better than the stereo.

I'm sorry, the last part was meant as a joke... I didn't mean it as a bash. Maybe I need to cut back on the caffeine.

I didn't take it as one (see smiley), so no worries.
