3 Troubleshooting Your PC Workstation

If Your PC Workstation Has a Hardware Problem

No Sound from the CD-ROM Drive

If you are having problems with sound when playing a CD:

Check that the volume control (if present) on the CD-ROM or CD-RW drive front panel is not set to the minimum.

Ensure that the disk in the drive is an audio disk and not a photo CD or data CD.

If using headphones or external speakers, check that they are properly connected to the Audio Front Panel (not to the audio jack for the CD-ROM).

Check that the CD Audio switch is selected in the mixer (if selected a speaker icon will appear in the taskbar).

Check that the CD audio cable is correctly installed and is connected to the system board.

The CD-ROM Drive is Idle

If the drive does not appear to be working, try accessing the disk by clicking on the drive icon or drive letter assigned to the drive by your operating system.
