No sound from any cd playing in computer tray

suzieemm

Hi, can anyone help? Although my Windows XP computer plays speaker sounds - turning on/off computer and Internet sounds through the speakers, any CD's will not produce a sound. For some reason this has suddenly happened as this computer used to play the CD's and nothing has been changed in the set up but for some reason Windows Media Player box comes onto the screen with the disc contents being shown and rhythm moves are showing in that box as though the disc is playing but there is no sound. All relevant boxes are ticked (or un-ticked) and not muted and I have checked all other things but cannot understand why this should suddenly happen. Discs used to play from this computer so what has happened to stop this suddenly and what should I be doing to rectify this? I hope someone knows what is going on and can help me.

Double click on the speaker in the bottom right corner to bring up the mixer, and check the settings for CD.
