or install your sound driver that is compatible with your motherboard..

Or if your sound device is built in, and not functioning
You need to install a sound card in your motherboard.. it works

There are a number of different reasons why your computer may no longer give sound. If you have this problem, read on to learn how to diagnose the problem and resolve your PC's loss of sound.
Check the Speaker Connections and Volume Control Settings

2. Open the volume control window by clicking your "Start" button and then "All Programs." Click "Accessories," then "Entertainment," then "Volume Control." Alternatively, just click on the speaker icon that's in your System Tray.
3. Check the volume and mute settings. If any of the mute check boxes have been checked, uncheck them. If this doesn't work, read on.

buy your self a external sound card dude, the one on your laptop or pc is prob dead. problem solved..

This could happen for several reasons. Of course, the first is that the speakers might have gone bad, but that is not usually the case.
The next reason would be if you have muted the speakers in the "sounds" option in the control panel. Check that. While there, be sure you have the volume up and not way down.

is it onboard
