Hi Pat,
It sounds like you don't have the audio cable hooked up inside your computer
from the back of your CD ROM drive to the sound card. there should be 3
cables attaching to your CD ROM drive- a power cable, an ide cable and a
skinny sound cable that plugs into your sound card.  Maybe it came off. Look
inside your computer.  I hope this helps.

Hi There

I really need help. I am having problems with the sound on my computer.  I
can hear some things through my speakers such as icq, urls sounds, and if I
go anywhere on the net I can hear those sounds as well.  However I can't
play music in my cd rom...it shows that it is playing but there is no sound
and my microphone will not work.  I know that the mic works as I tried it on
another computer.  Also my computer seems to be running very slowly.  I have
cleaned out the temp files, done scan disk and defrag.  Nothing seems to
help it to speed up.  I have a packard bell  pentium with 40 ram and 3/4 of
it is free space.
Thanks for any help you can give me
