That is a puzzling issue, usually when you can't play a CD on your speakers, it is because the small 'sound' cable that connects from the rear of the CD-Rom to the sound card is either loose or not connected.

Since you say it works everyonce in a while it might be loose... or you might be having some sort of software conflict.
