I suspect that sound is turned down in Windows. There are seperate
sliders for different types of sound playback - some may be up
higher than others. My normal suggestion is to set them all
to full and user the master volume control.
 
You should have a sound icon in the task tray (bottom right of
the Windows descktop), if not then go to thw Windows Control
Panel, then to "Sounds and Audio devices". Then from the
"Volume" tab click on "Advanced".
