You can look in the device manager to find the sound chip manufacturer.

follow the steps:
-open the case. -there is a small battery on the mother board. -remove the battery for 15 seconds and replace it. -thats it. u r done :)

you should start with updating the sound drivers. they get lost sometimes on restore. it wouldn't hurt to go to EMachines and update all drivers for your unit. also look at he specs for your unit, it will tell you who the sound manufacturer is and then you can go to their web site to update drivers also. if you need more info reply back
