Cari - I'm not sure! I assume my soundcard came pre-installed when I
purchased my HP notebook last summer. Up until a couple of weeks ago I was
able to Movie Maker without any problem so I'm not sure why it isn't working
now.

The Buckster,
Look in Control Panel, System, Hardware Tab, Device Manager, Sound
Video & Game Controllers. Are their any yellow bangs showing up with
exclamation points? If you look at the properties for the sound device,
does it show that the device is working properly, or the driver is not
loaded?
If the driver isn't loaded, see your computer manufacturers website for
the proper driver for your computer model. Download & install/update
driver.
Best,
Treeman

This has happened to me as well! It worked earlier today, but now it doesn't work. I did what you said, and it says they are all working properly.

If all Method doesn't work,, try to reformat your computer
