It's probably going to depend on what OS you're using, but I think find an option to enable this in the device settings for the CDROM (settings/control panel/system/device manager), properties/settings.

In File Explorer, right click your drive and select properties.
There should be an autoplay tab in the dialog box. In here you can select what you want to do with various data types, and what you want to play them with.
