IT>Thanks a lot.

First of all...ARE YOU SURE YOU HAVE THE CORRECT AUDIO CABLE
CONNECTED???  THere are many different kinds of audio cables that are
for many different kinds of CD drives...Also...Personally I feel that
you should test your CD's and at first try to listen to them through
MEDIA PLAYER..Se if that works.  This is also very important....You have
ot have this ddriver for it to work correctly...Under Drivers in COntrol
Panel...Do you have CD AUDIO installed...If not...Install it from the
Windows disks I think...What kind of Sound Board is it and is it a
supported adapter for your CD drive?  These are basic things you could
try.
