    What is the make/model of your laptop? Is the volume icon (little speaker) on the system tray? Is it turned up? Are the speakers plugged in correctly?

    In the device manager uninstall all the sound card entries that have the yellow marks on them and reboot the laptop.

    If the proper drivers are installed Windows may detect them and install the drivers upon reboot.

    It is also possible the UAA patch for XP has not been installed this is required for HD audio sound chips the like of which you have in your laptop. Drivers from Dell's site are at this link as well.

    To get the volume icon back in onto the system tray, goto
    start->control panel->sounds and audio devices
    Then click the box that says "place volume icon in task bar"
    From here you'll be able to see if you accidentally muted your speakers.
    You can also check the audio tab at the top to see what audio device is currently
    in use for playback.
    When you get the icon back, double click on it and check the sound levels. Most applications will need the Wave volume turned up, not just the main volume. People often forget this.
