Laptop CD player, audio CDs, no sound (Fedora 8)

I've got an Acer TravelMate 4202WLMi with a "DVD-Super Multi" drive.  Up
until recently, everything was working swimmingly, but of course
something unidentified changed and now I can't play audio CDs.

I first noticed the problem when trying to rip a few CDs.  Using Grip I
could see that apparently it wasn't reading any audio data off the CD;
it would spin for a few seconds, give up and move on to the next track.
  I can't play the CD directly, regardless of the application I use
(Grip, Amarok, VLC, etc).

I can read data off of a CD with no problem (for example, opening and
reading a text file on a CD).  I can play audio that is already on the
hard drive of the machine - also no problem.  But there seems to be a
disconnect here and my suspicion is that it's software-based rather than
a hardware problem.  Any suggestions on where to look first?

Thanks,
  -Don
