When i load up a music cd to listen to in my tower , i cant get it to come through my head phones when they are plugged in ? I dont have any pc speakers attached to the tower and ive checked all the volume controls which are full up ? Any help please

some PCs need an extra cable from the cd player to the sound card.

Are you listening through the socket of the cd player at the front, or though the socket in the back of your PC?

Hi
Can you hear any other sounds through the headphones, such as the Windows jingle when you boot up?
Have you got the headphones plugged into the right socket - not plugged into the mic socket by mistake?

also there are 3 sockets at the sound card end, are you sure youre in the correct one?

Yes im listening through the input jack on the tower next to the cd compartment
