Open device manager and check for the status on the sound
card. To open device manager right click the My Computer
icon on the desktop and select Manage, then device manager.
There is a troubleshooting app in the device manager. Or
you can take the shortcut and just remove the device using
device manager and reboot. That will force plug and play to
detect and install it again.

I'm guessing his grandson put a pirated copy on the
computer.
