CD-ROM won't play music CD's

Hello. When I put a music cd in my cd-rom it spins-up, but no sound comes out of the speakers. I tried using Winamp and then the Windows Media Player, but neither produced any sound from them. The cd-rom spins the disc, and the indicator light blinks as though it's playing the cd. I can play MP3's and other audio just fine, and the cd-rom works perfectly otherwise. The driver for the sound card is installed properly, too. I checked the volume settings, none of the options are "muted", and they all have the right balance. I think I just might not have an option checked somewhere or something like that, because my cd burner won't play them either. Any help?? Thanks.
same response to another query if its only with CD's im guessing that the cable which goes from your cd rom to your sound card has been either disconnected or is broken.. if you have other sound working fine ie wave files and midi's this is your problem, this cable usually costs about $5 and is easy to install
