Actually playing audio CDs is part of the CD-ROM drivers rather than the sound driver. Does the audio CD play at all (e.g. can you hear sound through the headphone socket on the front?)
ALSA tends to use hardware muting so you might not be able to
hear the CD even though it is actually working, you need a mixer which understands ALSA (e.g. alsamixer which is available from the same site as ALSA itself) to unmute the relevant channels, OSS mixers (e.g. xmix) won't be able to do this.
I use the alsamixer and I use aplay to play *.au, *.wav, and so on. The sound is very good. When I using (by example) the workman, I set the device to /dev/hdd (where my CD-ROM is). Then the workman play the CD, there is no signal in the line out of the back, but if I plug in the front of the CD-drive, I can heart the music normally. I can also change the track of the CD and the other functions of the workman.
