First thing to try is open your volume control in the advanced view and make sure that "Wave" is not muted.

click start settings control panel open the sounds and audio devices folder. click on volume is the mute box checked? hit the advanced setting is any thing on there muted? click on speaker volume are they set to low? right next to speaker volume click on advanced in the performance section click restore defaults.under audio click on it. whats listed under default device? and under hardware whats listed
