| 125029 | 2003-03-02 07:54:00 | I could once play music on my CD-ROM. It works fine with your PC free CD's and even plays the tunes on them, but not my music only CD's. A friend tells me that I lack a driver and he has been unable to locate one for me. Please can anyone help, Colobus. | Colobus (3272) | ||
| 125030 | 2003-03-02 08:02:00 | what music player do you use? you may not have the analog leads so you will need to play it digitally. |

| 125031 | 2003-03-03 08:11:00 | Thanks for your reply, I use Windows Media Player and get all the graphics, but no sound; as I said my speakers work. I'm a Newby, and my friend (who may or may not be a newby{but dont tell him I said so}) says I've no driver and he can not find one for me. Thanks again; Colobus. |

| 125032 | 2003-03-03 08:40:00 | has it ever worked? when did it stop working? which media player? what OS? what soundcard? in media player tick "digital playback" does it work? any errror message? |

| 125033 | 2003-03-03 09:04:00 | also what type of file are you trying to play maybe a codec is missing but window media play should hopefully take care of that or in sound control the wav output is on mute or turned down ..you already checked that already...right |

| 125034 | 2003-03-05 08:27:00 | Tweak and Heni thanks for your replies, music did work till I fiddled with password - 2nd hand comp: bought when I knew even less than I now know. A good friend fixed it, dont know how but cleared everything and reinstalled XP pro which I had origonally(but no EULA). He says he can not find a driver, but CD's from magazines work fine and radio also works. CD-rom's are advertised at around $30, and I'm wondering if this might be a fairly cheap way around my problem. | Colobus (3272) | ||
| 125035 | 2003-03-05 08:54:00 | the 2 ways music cd's are played in a pc is... analog, which requires an audio cable from cdrom to sound card. in volume contol cd input must not be muted (or volume turned down). 2nd way is digitally. you need a player set to digital extraction and an aspi driver. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 125036 | 2003-03-07 08:24:00 | I agree with tweak'e. It's a matter of simply taking the cover off the PC, and seeing if there's a thin cable going from the back of the CD drive to the soundcard. If it isn't there, then you need to get one (to play it analogly -if that word exists). | somebody (208) | ||
| 125037 | 2003-03-07 08:40:00 | You chaps know more than I do,but surely if the thing has worked b4 and he hasn' taken anything off,like wires,how can it be he has to go looking for wires? | Thomas (1820) | ||
| 125038 | 2003-03-07 09:19:00 | Not that i use XP but in my system I would go to the media rack which is all the volume controls for the system and make sure all the volume sliders are at there peak and none are muted. Like I say this is for win 98 but i'm sure that xp has a similar setup off the start menu somewhere. hope this helps |
