It runs perfectly except for 1 thing.
Audio files..mp3's etc, whether connected to windows games, or a music file, that is saved to the laptop will not play.
Music online plays fine, the error beeps etc from windows play, it is just installed music files.
I have checked every setting, and they are fine.
Can anybody help?

The little bar moves across suggesting the file is playing, but there is no sound.
Cd's play fine, there is sound from youtube etc.. it is just audio files that are actually saved to the computer, it's strange.
I have checked the drivers are up to date, all are correct.

Never used this one so can`t say if it works or not.... but might be worth a try... you may have the file as an .mp3.... but you may not have the correct codecs installed... converting them to another file type may work....

They were working, then out of nowhere, they just stopped.
I've used restore points and no joy either.

I think it was a setting in Windows Media Player or even the advanced section of the pc volume controls somewhere that was set to something other than the 'Creative Soundblaster' card I had fitted, once changed it was fine.

Right click it and see if you get an option to 'open volume mixer' (do this with Media Player running), it should have separate volume levels per application - see if Media Player is muted.
You may also have a control panel entry specific to your sound card with similar settings. In some I think it is possible to change the output of music, for example, to the line jacks or a 'digital out' instead of the speakers. If you have a hardware specific volume application you may have both the windows volume mixer and the hardware vendor's mixer active (sometimes you may even have two speaker icons - visible or hidden - in the system tray).
At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

I have already checked all of this twice over, and no joy.
It is so wierd, it is only music files, and games soundtrack that is affected, dvd's, skype, iplayer.. all of that plays fine.
