I lost the sound devices on my computer and it says..... There are no sound devices on this computer. But it had sound until a week ago. Does anyone know how to get the sound back? If you could help that would be awesome!!!

Your sound card drivers are missing or corrupt. You must re-install them. However, you must first know what sound device your system has. If you don't, you will need to find out.
I'm assuming that your system is a pre-built from a manufacturer such as HP or Dell. You can visit their websites and find the Support sections, then input your make and model number to find documentation of your hardware components. Most likely, downloads will be available for your system, including driver updates. However, the driver updates available on the computer manufacturer's site aren't always the latest drivers for the specific hardware component you wish to update.
In that case, find out your sound device vendor and navigate to their website's support section. Find the downloads section and browse for your specific model. Download and install the latest device drivers, then reboot. Problem solved.
Once you reboot, you may need to go back to Sounds and Audio Devices in the Control Panel to tweak some settings, as re-installing the drivers will reset the previous configuraiton.

You need to re-install the soundcard drivers. This is not easy and you may want to ask somebody who knows a bit about computer for help!
I could direct you online how to do it, however it is difficult!

it sounds like the sound drivers have got corrupted, with your pc you should have got a couple of discs, one is drivers and utilities, put this in and install the sound drivers or if you have no discs go to the manufacturers website and get the drivers from there

Right click on "my computer", left click on properties, then the hardware tab. Theres an device manaager tab, click on it. You scroll down to find your sound card and see if its on,if not click on it and that should do it
