try this to restore sound to your computer.
1>click on start
2> click on run and type in devmgmt.msc then click ok
3> on the page that has just opened up look down the list for a speaker icon which should have sound,video and game controllers written after it
when located click on the plus to expand the menu
4> there should be 1 item in that list that has the words “AudioPCI”
contained in it eg. Creative AudioPCI (ES1371,ES1373) (WDM)
right click on that and select update driver…..
5> in the pop up window click the circle next to “Yes, this time only”
and then on the next button
6> make sure that the circle next to “install the software automatically (Recommended) is checked and click next
7> your computer will now search for, download and install the latest drivers for your sound card when that has finished restart the computer and your sound should be returned.
if the above method does not work go to this link

download and install those drivers and the issue should be resolved.
