Mike,

You've got to closely scrutinize alsamixer to make sure the correct 
channel is unmuted and raised to the point where you will hear the CD 
playing.  The headphone jack has nothing to do with your computer at all 
so it tells you nothing.  The fact that your card is working and that 
your CD drive worked suggests the upgrade left a setting altered on the 
mixer.
