I cant get the CD player on the puter to work!

[Helen F H]

I am trying to use the CD player on me puter for the first time in ages.  Im sure it worked in the past.  Now it wont.  I get the control box up on the screen (play, track titile etc) but no sound from the headphones at all.  Am i being thick or is it buggered?

go to volume control and ajust the volume settings it may be turned off for headphones and or cd unit has been muted, i sometimes get problems with the  cd unit playing cd`s, (cant hear anyting)  just uncheck the box for cd volume control.
go to start,programs,accessories,entertainment then select volume control.
