Suggest reinstall the audio driver.
[Driver: Small piece of software that allows the Operating System to communicate with a device
The device is the audio chipset.
The Windows operating system was not stated.
Chip and Chipset are slang terms for I.C.
Integrated Circuit,

Stating HP Pavilion dv2000 is just stating the model series.
When installing a Driver, there are TWO main things needed;
1) Operating System (Which version of Windows)
2) Model number
For HP and Compaq computers we will go with the Product Number.
On the Bottom of the laptop is a white Service Tag.
P/N = Product Number
Please post back in a Comment, and I'll step by step you through downloading AND installing the audio driver.
Also go to Device Manager, and look to see what audio device is used.
WinXP:
Start > Right-click on My Computer > left-click on Properties at the bottom of the list.
Left-click on the Hardware tab. Left-click on Device Manager.
In Device Manager, left-click on the + sign to the left of -
Sound, video and game controllers
What does it state?
Intel?
Conexant?
Win Vista:
Click on the Windows logo button (Start), then right-click on Computer. Follow the above.
