Hi, Does the MB have "Onboard Audio", or do you have a seperate Adapter Card for Snd ? Either way, did you chek to see if the audio cable from the Atapi device that you are using for sound is hooked up to the appropriate CD header on the MB ?

Also, if you did a new installation of windows?, have you tried opening the volume controls icon which may be in the sysmtray to adjust the Play Control (volume) and Wave/Direct Snd ?
Let us know, please.

 

welcome to T.S.G shantar.
in addition to rustys sugestions.
are there any yellow exclamation marks under your audio device in device manager?
if not,Just enable digital audio. Right-click on My Computer, then choose Manage........ Select Device Manager from the left-hand pane.......... Navigate to the properties box for each of your CD, DVD, CD-RW, or DVD-RAM drives, and check the box Enable digital audio.

 

thanks for the suggestions, but im not totaly sure where to turn on the digital audio like you were saying $teve, i tried right clicking on my computer but i didnt give me the option of managing. Instead i found properties and when into the device manager and found my sound, but it did not have any options for turning on digital sound. And for the cable for the atapi device, is that the cd drive, sorry for the dumb question but im still in the process of learning a few things. Thanks for you help though

 

Manual states there is on-board audio, so make sure there is a cable attached to the CDRom & J2 or J4.
