Missing Sound

Hi,
My sound had stopped working.
Tried a youtube video, and nothing, then tried playing an audio cd. From VLC media player when I click play, I get:
Code:
Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'cdda:///dev/sr0'. Check the log for details.

From Banshee, I get nothing. I click on All Albums (0) then click play, and nothing at all.
From Audacious I get:
Code:
No decoder found for file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0/Track%2010.wav.
No decoder found for file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0/Track%2011.wav.

No decoder found for file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0/Track%2018.wav.
No decoder found for file:///run/user/1000/gvfs/cdda:host=sr0/Track%2019.wav.


It used to work. Then one day the volume control refused to co-operate.At that time, I got full volume without being able to turn the sound down.
Now a month later when I re-visit the problem, I get no sound at all.

This is very frustrating. Your help would be appreciated.


I have Mint Linux 17.3 Rosa.

Thanks

NAME
auplay - play a sound file to a Network Audio System server SYNOPSIS
auplay [-audio servername] [-volume 0-100] [-i] [-I] [-l] files... DESCRIPTION
The auplay program can be used to play audio data stored in the .SND, .AU, or .WAV formats common on Sun workstations and PCs. It is typi- cally used from shell scripts or command line procedures. If no filenames are given on the command line, audio data will be read fron stdin, unless the -l option is given. OPTIONS
The following options may be used with the auplay program: -audio servername This option specifies the Network Audio System server on which the files should be played. -volume 0-100 This option specifies the volume at which the data should be played as a percentage of the maximum possible volume. The default is 100 percent. -i This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed along with playing the data. -I This option indicates that the header information associated with the sound data should be printed instead of playing the data. -l This option indicates that a list of filenames is to be read from stdin. auplay will play these files after playing any files given explicitly as command line arguments.
