Do you have a headphones outlet on the front of your unit? Checking whether it works or not could help you isolate the cause of the problem. It's very hard to diagnose without more info, but you've got some good answers up here and don't panic, the solution is most likely to be something simple; it usually is.

You don't say whether your sound normally comes from an onboard soundchip or an installed soundcard. Whichever it is, the P.C.'s BIOS needs to be told.
With most P.C.'s, you get into the BIOS by continually pressing the 'Delete' key while booting up........somewhere within the pages of the BIOS will be an option to Enable/Disable onboard sound. If you're using onboard sound, then this needs to be Enabled........if you're using a seperate soundcard, however, this needs to be Disabled.
After this, you need to check on your system's Audio Devices....you'll find these in Control Panel under 'Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices'....make sure you have the correct hardware selected.
Finally, you need to make sure your sound isn't muted - check your Volume Control for these options - again, this depends on whether your sound is onboard or a seperate card.
Hope this helps!
