NO PC told at all and posted to Proliant server forum that is no PC and as such the OS is not allowed there w10 nor does it have sound chips, at all, its a server running in huge dark, no humans server farm..... so let me guess you posted to wrong forum and never told PC model sure. so windows sounds work in the test in control panel yes ! the, MP3 is complex, it can be from high data rate, source and will not play unless converted . one thing to try is use this free app called Audacity https://www.audacityteam.org/ then play it or convert it or buy a USB sound dac that can decode any sound file on earth or learn to test you PC first windows sounds work then in google type simple MP3 sound test https://file-examples.com/index.php/sample-audio-files/sample-mp3-download/ works good above so your MP3 is no good or wrong bit rate. if fails yours only , buy new DAC USB dongle now it plays them all if windows sounds are dead the sound driver is missing or on a server there is no sound chips oops. buy the DAC dongle. if only 1 MP3 fails out of 100's find a better one or buy a DAC.

Have you connected a CD drive to the machine via one of the SATA ports?

When you turn it on, does the fan come on? How about the hard drive? There is a serries of tests called POST. I amc4rying to find out what starts up and see where the problem is.

You need to be specific about the exact model of server that you're using. Features of the various generations of the HP iLO are accessed in different ways. BE SPECIFIC.
