No sound

Tried to play music on my computer (Win XP SP2) but cannot seem to hear any
sound through my Microphone even though the Windows Media Player is playing
the music.

I have a sound card which is listed in the Device Mangager. I've also
installed a sound driver..but still cannot hear anything.

Where could the problem be???

WindowsXP has a / Help / Troubleshooting function
for this. I do not know how good it is, but it probably
directs you to check the simplest things first, i.e.
external speakers connected and switched on and
not muted by software. Keep a written record of your
progress with the Troubleshooter and post back here
with results. (You hear music through either the
PC's internal speaker or (better) externally connected
stereo speakers -- not the microphone.) Most audio
software provides separate menus for Playback and
Recording, each of which allows you to customize
which hardware or software inputs are available for use.
