Re: no sound
 

Make sure teh soundcard is properly setup in device manager with no exclamation marks.

Then try using windows itself to make sounds. ( Sound themes, test )

Then try downloading teh latest version of Media Player or even better an alternative sound player (Winamp or similar).

Have you tried installing/reinstalling the sound drivers ?

Start - control Panel - System, Hardware, Device Manager
