By "it won't play sound", you mean that ancient firmware-based audio CD/DVD playback feature that still is in most CD/DVD drives for some otherworldish reason? You are supposed to plug in an additional cable to that (should be a plan 4-wire jumper-type one if I am not mistaken); the drive vendor typically provides a cable for that in the package.
If you, on the other hand, mean the audio of a video DVD, I'd check if you have the necessary audio codec installed and configured your DVD player in the right way (Certain surround sound modi typically found on DVDs, like that AC3 thing, don't work anywhere, not to say never worked for me on any setup I had; switch to stereo or play Dolby Surround [speaker number]) and have the audio channel selected and not muted.

Yes, that's plugged in. I tried to play Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in Windows Media Player, and everything worked except for the sound.
