What are you doing to create the sound? For instance, are you playing a
file in Media Player? If so, what sort of file is it? Have you confirmed
that it is a sound file and that it is not corrupted? What happens when you
try to play it? Is there an error message? For instance, is there a
message about trying to download and install a Codec for the file?

Anything that I try to play a CD or like C-span on the internet I will not
get sound ,but when I play a Cd before it starts I get a message Error
downloading codec, I am wondering also why it needs to download when playing
a CD?
