If you are using the onboard sound, you might want to try and reinstall the drivers again. Usually that would be the RealTek AC97 drivers available here:

If that doesn't work you can pick up a SoundBlaster Live card now for real cheap.

Right click "My Computer, choose "Properties", then the "Hardware" tab, then "Device Manager". Expand "Sound, video & game controllers" and look for a yellow ! or a red X.
This will tell you if Windows recognizes your card and knows there is a problem. You may have to reinstall drivers, or you may want to uninstall & re-install the device in Windows. If necessary, go to Creative.com & download drivers fot the following model: (This link is to the replacement Soundblaster Audigy 5.1 on the eMachines replacement parts website)
