Some time ago I reinstalled Win2000 and as far as I reacall simnce then I have not been able to play MP3 ow WAV files in Windows Media Player, Realplayer, Musicmatch Jukebox, or Winamp.

I can play Cd's in the CDRW drive ok using the soundcard - not the jack attached to the drive.

I use Creative CT5880 and updated the drivers recently but to no effect.

I suspect something to do with codecs or perhaps some bios settings.

Can someone offer advice here please

There are several control, you need to click on the volume control icon (or access it from control panel - sounds) and select options-properties, then tick all the options to display.

Look for muted items, or sliders set low. Play around there and see if it helps.

Thanks but I have already tried that area. Have tried muted on off etc - no luck

Thanks anyway

Other thoughts welcome
