Are the speakers switched on ? Sorry had to ask

go into Control panel/sounds and Audio Devices/Volume

Is a default device shown next to the speaker at the top of the property
sheet or does it show no sound?

Click the advanced button under device volume, check what is muted (Has a
tick), My sound works ok, and I have Mic, Line in, Video and Aux muted.

Check Speaker volume.

Go into the Audio Tab and set a default device set for each of sound
playback, sound recording and midi music playback with the down arrow key.
Again check volume.
