I have compaq presario m2000 (now retired at HP)
this old PC is 13 years old, it's not supported at HP now.
finding software to run in it is a horrible process. (xp or vista)
why buy a used 13year old PC? not buy 7 or less for max future usage? with W7/w8/w10 onboard and working ...???
it is not new at all, for sure. (and nobody warrantee's pc this ol)
my guess is this.
what can you do. ?
if the PC is bad, to go device manager and reload the sound driver, if that fails, the drivers at MS are not there now.
the next event is finding out what sound chip is there, and is a subject of a very long story.... next.
Send the computer back for service if its in Warranty.
Try to use the Audio out on the side of the computer. Plug any external speaker into the port. If the sound you hear is the same as what comes rom the speakers then the sound module on the motherboard is defective. If the sound is normal, then the problem is in the wiring to the internal speakers.

SOURCE: update bios on compaq presario m2000?
There are usually two ways with Compaq's
One is with a DOS boot floppy
The other is via a windows utility
both are usually available from the support section on the Compaq website.
Heads up only do this on mains power not battery !
DON'T stop it or switch off for ANY reason
If you knew how many crashed bios questions come through Fixya.
Check the text file or only as to what problems that bios fixes and if they don't apply to you then don't do it.
Most bios updates fix very minor issues nowadays
