You don't mention the name of the game. Anyway, how did you mount your cd-rom drive? Have you forgotten to add the -t cdrom switch?

E.g. mount d d:\ -t cdrom

(Please note that there is a blank space between -t and cdrom).

Read my 60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox (and don't just read it - follow it too).

If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.
