RE: Bad Music Playback in WMP 10

Hi and thanks for the advice. I checked everything that you suggested and
even took the volume levels down quite a bit but nothing positive happened.
Funny that you mentioned a small audio lead attached to the CD/DVD rewriter?
There is a small lead on the sound card but for some unknown reason, both
ends are plugged into the two sockets that sit sid-by-side on the card? It's
been like that for ages and not being a computer 'teckie', I thought nothing
of it? Should one of the ends of that audio lead go into the rewriter then
and if so, which socket does the other one stay in on the sound card? Sound
was OK even with the small audio lead as it is now until recently (last
week)? God! I wish I knew more about computers! Thanks again.
