What I mean is my newly acquired 'old' PC running XP Pro plays no sounds at all, not even Windows startup/closedown jingles or any of the sound noises hidden away in Windows. More importantly it can't play any music such as the Windows sample music files or a CD audio or some audio files I copied from my main (ME) PC. The sound appears to be 'on-board' (the connector plugs directly into to the motherboard) and the small speaker for Windows is present but silent.
The speakers I connected to the green output mini-jack work OK on another PC and are definitely switched on at the power supply.
I have checked via the task bar icon volume setting that all volume levels are at a reasonable height and there are no checks in the mute boxes. WMP 9.0 is installed and also Real Player.
Where else can I look for a solution to this problem, please.
