No Felipe it is not the driver. The driver is not used for normal CD playing.
It is purely hardware. Nor is it true to say that because it works in Windows
that your cable is OK.
Your problem is probably either
a/ Your mixer is turned down. Check Kmenu>Multimedia>Sound>Sound mixer
set the setting of your choice and then save as default.
b/Your audio cable is not present despite it working in Windows.
Read this post and all will become clear.
