The CD audio can play through the sound card via that cable you mention, 
but its volume level is controlled by a separate mixer which is 
defaulted to "Mute" surprisingly often :(

Also, the identity of that mixer can sometimes be unclear. I have 
encountered sound-cards that allow the CD's cable to be connected to any 
one of several inputs, each with a different mixer, which may or may not 
be labelled as "CD Audio" or "AUX" or "Line In 2", etc.
