Start the game with the CD in the drive.

Does the light on your CD signify that the CD is Accessing?  If it does it means that the CD is playing but you can't hear it.  Try :

• Check you have the Redline CD-ROM in the correct drive
• Check the in-game and windows volume settings.
• Check your CD-ROM is connected to your soundcard

If the drive light does not mean accessing then try:

• Check you have the CD-Audio Drivers installed

Gets a bit techy now, Your going to need to open your computer for this one.   If your not sure or your computer is under warranty don't do this.  Get a professional to do it.

1. Open your PC and find the CD-ROM drive
2. Is there a thin lead coming from the back of this(usually grey) if so follow it and check it goes into your soundcard.
3. If its not in your CD-ROM the check if its in your soundcard and if there's a loose end connect it the the CD-ROM drive.
4. If there is not one there at all then you will need to purchase one.
5. For more information on this contact your dealer or the CD-ROM or Soundcards Documentation
