Try Start/control panel/sounds and audio devices/audio tab from her
you should be able to select the default audio device to be used, hav
a look in the advanced section of playback section to check out ho
playback is set up as this could be where the problem lies, also yo
will almost certainly need to download and reinstall the driver fo
your device (most likely available as a generic driver from microsoft
may already be there but needs selecting, or you should be able t
download from manufacturers web site if it becomes neccesary) righ
click your cd device in explorer, properties, hardware tab, properties
driver, update driver. Come to think of it its probably gonna be
combination of both these elements.
Hope this helps, Paul.
