        I don't have GNOME installed on a Solaris system, but on
one of my Linux boxes the CD sound doesn't start until I run the
mixer and wiggle the CD volume slider a little. Don't know why
this is, I assumed it had something to do with that system's 
sound chip. Perhaps it's really gtcd, or the type of CD drive?
Anyhow, you might try running the mixer and fiddling with the
CD volume slider. Even if it's all the way up, I still have to
do this after the system's been rebooted.
