Ok do this. Go to start > control panel > system > hardware > device manager > now check out to see if you sound card is listed there? If it is make sure it doesn't have a ! next to it or a ?. If so you have to right click on it or maybe do this anyway and update driver, make sure you are online when you do this. Also you could go to sound settings in control panel and check there to see if you have a sound card installed.

You need to determine if it has a sound card (or sound chip) integrated into the motherboard. First of all, have you ever had sound with this particular PC before? If so, and no one's been fiddling around inside the PC, then you have the hardware, and something else has changed.
If you go to control panel>>system>>hardware>>device manager, and look under 'sound, video, and game controllers', you should see some devices capable of generating sound. If you don't see any, or see some that have question marks or x's over them, you've got a hardware problem that needs to be fixed before you'll hear anything.

It sounds like your driver for your sound card went bad.
Right click on the "My Computer' button and go to 'manage'.
On the list to your left click on 'Device Manager'
Now you should see a list to your right. If you see any yellow question marks under 'sound, video and game controllers' Then you probably have to re-install the sound drivers or your sound card went bad.
First, check all connections. Make sure mute is not enabled.
The website below has a huge list of drivers you can download. You just have to create an account. If you do not know the make and model of your driver then contact your manufacturer. Or if you are skilled, open up your computer and locate your sound card.

If the sound problems occur intermittently, there could be a interrupt conflict problem. Uninstall the audio and sound drivers and restart the computer. The computer will automatically reinstall the required drivers and the problem will be resolved. For more information you can check the following site: http://fixit.in/sound.html I find the information givenin the site is more useful

Download the drivers for your sound card and install them. If you bought your PC from a big-name manufacturer such as HP or Dell, go to the manufacturer's website and look up your computer model - they will typically provide all the drivers for your machine.

You have lost your sound card, if the machine is still under warranty call the manufacturer, otherwise it maybe cheaper to buy another machine.

locate what style of sound card you have and then get the drivers for it on line and reinstall them. i think of an audio gadget is the audio gadget and the sound gadget is the sound card.
