Answer 1

check your speaker settings and change them to the relevent option.  

Answer 2

Make sure your Sound Driver isn't disabled; it may have inadvertently disabled itself during shutdown:

Go to Device Manager (Start> RightClick My Computer> Properties> Hardware Tab> Device Manager) and right click on your sound driver and choose enable. If not, try updating the driver, which will effectively restore it to factory settings if there's an update available.

If you don't know the name of you Sound Driver, so to Start> Run> dxdiag. Now go to the Sound Tab and any sound hardware installed is listed.

If that still doesn't work, the driver may have been uninstalled. If so, go to your computer's manufacturer's website and go to the "Support" section. There should be a link for drivers. You will need to know your computer's model, but once you enter that it will give you an option to download any missing drivers. Just find the Sound Driver and install it.

Hope that helps =]

Answer 3

Assuming you have Windows XP

Go to the Control Panel > Click Sounds, Speech and Audio Devices >

First click 'Adjust the System Volume' and check the mute option isn't ticked and the volume is not at the bottom

If thats fine, click 'Advanced Volume Controls' in the left hand pane and make sure mute is not ticked and the volume is up high enough

Answer 4

Reinstall the sound card driver via the internet or Control Panel using the advice from those ahead of me.
