These devices aren't usually recognised separately as they are handled by the
soundcard installed on your machine - is that configured and working OK?
Check the settings in Sounds & Audio Devices in Control Panel to see that
everything is selected that should be.
Another place to look is if the speaker is in the notification area
(systray) right click to adjust volume. This reveals settings for various
inputs check that things are not muted when you want to use them like your
mic.
