Crwys,

Right click on the speaker icon in the task try area , and in the window
right click an empty space and select both Show Disabled Devices and Show
Disconnected Devices. Determine whether anything shows up that you can
enable. You may have to click around, if that doesn't work, to find an
alternative approach and fix.

In addition, check the Sound area in Control Panel to confirm that all the
settings there are set to work as you expect.

If all else fails, try reinstalling the drivers for the sound card, not just
uninstalling the sound card and rebooting. Post back on results.
