Answer 2

you need to reinstall your sound device driver, check the manufactures website.

Answer 3

Try installing your audio driver either from the manufacturer of the motherboard if it is onboard, or the manufacturer of the sound card if you purchased a different sound card.  If it is onboard, it should come with the disc that contains your audio driver, but I strongly recommend you use the one on their website because it will have their latest driver there.
