How about Windows Media Player? Silent there, too?

Open a fresh Audacity.
Generate > Tone (Anything audible. 400Hz works. Five seconds.)
Don't do anything to it. Just export as MP3. Can you hear that in iTunes?

Sorry, My Bad. I'd forgotten to unplug the USB Turntable which disables the pc speakers source. All ok now. And thanks
