Sony Walkman not connecting to PC - any ideas?

When I plug my walkman into my PC it makes a peculiar noise like three low pitch beeps in quick succession. Then nothing happens! I've tried plugging it into all of the USB ports on my PC and the same thing happens.

I tried plugging other devices into the ports and they are all recognised without any problems, so I'm assuming that it's not a port issue.

I'm also able to plug the walkman into my PC at work and it is recognised, so I'm a bit stumped as to why the combination of my PC at home and the walkman doesn't work!

It has been working fine, up until the weekend.

Any ideas what this might be and how I can resolve it?

Thanks in advance!
