So all this worked once upon a time & now 'suddenly' doesn't ? & just to be sure, you can play say '.wav' or '.cda' files from your hardisk - but not from the cd ?

.. telling me that multi media audio controller hasnt got the drives it needs could that be the problem? ..
Could well be, this is symptomatic of a few things ..

So what does this page say exactly ? ('cos it won't be saying exactly what you said - or I'd be surprised if it did)

& have you got things like burning software or virtual drive software also ? & does the unit produce sound from the headphone socket on the front of the cd/dvd ?
