Media player suddenly wont play my music files!

[Guest]

Hi Came on pc this eveing and found my pc wont let me listen to any of my
music files on media player.
Media player opens and it looks like the song is playing but there is no
sound through my speakers or headphones.
Sound is working if I go to websites, but, anything that opens in media
player is mute!
Can anyone please help.
Thank you

Open WMP, click tools, options, devices, speakers, properties, and in the
drop down make sure that your sound card is selected? Is it listed there?
Double check, near the play controls, is WMP muted?
