Hello
I'm having a problem playing audio CDs on a Win 95 system. We have played Cds in the past on this system with no problem. The player on this system is very old - it's the one that came with Win95 - it's just called Microsoft CD Player. When we try to play a CD, the software opens up fine and the tracks come up fine (i.e. I an see all the traks on the CD in the track list) and the first track starts playing (i.e. the software starts to play it, but we hear nothing). - I can see the track time starting to scroll, but no sound. I have checked the speakers and we can get sound to come out of them. We did this by installing another player (MusicMatch) and using one of the tracks from it's built-in library - these play fine. I have checked the drivers and asked Windows to update them if necessary, but after consulting with the MSFT website, Windows tells me that the optimum drivers are already installed.
There are two CD drives on this machine - one a player and one a writer. I have tried choosing both units but I can't get any sound to generate. I am an annual donator to techguy forums - love the service and keep up the good work!! Thaks, Nik
