    Where did you plug in your MP3 Player. The only audio input is for the mic and it's not stereo. Most MP3 aren't passing through audio through the USB port. Need more information to help you (I.E. What MP3 Player, where plugged in, how are you trying to play this, do normal sounds work (clicking sounds, start-up sounds))

    Ok be very patient with me, this laptop is a whole new experience for me..lol

    On the side, I believe it is the Mic. We do have sounds on start up etc...
    It is an iPod. I went into the control panel under sound. speakers, properties, levels..on this tab there is only the balance..on the Vista sight it showed line in connections..there were like 5 things to adjust...mine doesn't show any of those.
