lost sound in Media Player

Hello everyone,
Before I do a system restore, I wonder if someione can tell me how to get the sound back when I play the music from Windows Media Player ?
I just found out today.

Re: lost sound in Media Player

Have you checked the usual culprits?

Tried a different file you know that works?

WMP Volume unmuted in the app ?

Right-click the sound icon on the taskbar and open the Volume mixer to check if anything is unmuted?

Is it just WMP sound or sounds in general?

Have you added any codec packs recently?

Hello smarteyeball,
Thank you for your quick response.
I have found out the problem source. I just bought a electronic gadget, brand name ICON, which will record cassette music to the computer which will in turn burn it to CD if I want to. I found out that, before I can play the music recorded, I have to disconnect the ICON from the computer. I did not do that, that's why I have no sound from my WMP. There were virtually no instructions from the owner manual. Any way, thank you.
