Hi

Running Win2000 Professional on a desktop, and am getting
no CD audio. No error messages, the system appears to
think it's playing fine. I have a SB128 sound card,
standard (not USB) speakers, and the CD audio cable is
working perfectly (I am multiple-booted with Win98 and
Linux, and it's fine with them). No other problems with
the CD-ROM, the sound card or the system generally. (And
the volume settings are right, obviously).

This problem is quite new, it has worked properly until
recently (so I know the drive is supported by the OS).
Also I've tried a different CD-ROM drive in its place,
with the same results - so it's obv something to do with
the OS, I just don't know what...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
