i'm not sure..but you can try ..going to your control panel click on sound, speech and audio devices..then click on sound and audio devices see if the mute box is checked..if it is unchecked it, if not click on audio on top, right next to sound on the sound playback click on volume see if any of the mute boxes are checked if it is unchecked it, if not click on the down arrow and see if your soundcard is listed if its listed just clicked on it..maybe that will work..
