Do the KDE sound play Ok? (Error Notification, etc) If so, this shows
the sound card is configured correctly.  Do you have an audio cable
joining your CD drive to the sound card/motherboard?  If not, you will
either have to fit one or configure the cd players for digital audio
extraction.

The track listing issue is probably due to the cddb settings, check the
configuration settings under KsCD and copy these to "CD Player".
