no sound on CD only

[Guest]

I have working sound (e.g. it works with the skype internet telephone and I
can play sound files from the hard drive) but I hear nothing when playing CDs
(using Windows media player). The tracks are playing (the marker moves
along, time advances, visual pattern moves) but no sound. Any ideas on what
needs fixing?

3. Please deliver feedback to the newsgroup, so that others can be
helped. No one gets paid to help here, and the response rate from the

you'd all have died years ago.

As good a place to start as any... but no, that's not it.

Open up the bonnet and make sure your CD drive is connected to your sound
card.
