    try Control Panel - Device Manager, and look for question/exclamation marks etc. around your audio/multimedia drivers. they could have become corrupted or uninstalled by mistake. right click and choose update driver software and follow the prompts...

    Delete all sound devices from Device Manager and reboot. The OS will re-install the drivers on the reboot.

    In this case you may need to just down the correct driver software for your sound device. Check out the manufactures website.
