This case may occur when there is a Windows installation problem;
reinstall Windows.
Check whether the audio cable is correctly connected to the sound
output terminal on the CD-ROM drive and the sound card CD-IN
terminal.
Check that the sound card is operational.
Adjust the volume control.
Run the CD player supplied with Windows or your sound card.
You can listen to the CD by connecting headphones to the
appropriate connector.
If you have installed the appropriate player, such as Microsoft
Windows Media Player, you can adjust the volume using the
headphone volume control on the drive front panel.
If you select DIGITAL at CD Audio Play in Media Player of Windows
ME/XP, the earphone does not appear in the Digital Mode.
Check whether the CD is of good quality and clean it, if necessary.

Adjust the size of the replay screen.
After checking the display resolution, adjust it, if necessary.
The computer may not recognize the disc if you start playback too
quickly after inserting the disc. Open and close the disc
compartment and try again.
Clean the disc and try again.
The interface mode of the sound card is AT-BUS.
You must therefore connect the CD-ROM drive to the IDE port on
the PC mother board, rather than to the sound card, or install an IDE
compatible sound card.
