Try removing and reinstalling the device drivers for the audio
controller (sound card).

Did you say you get an error message? If you do or did, tell us more
details on that. Also check the device manager for any yellow question
marks next to any of the devices. To get there right click on My
Computer click properties. Click the hardware tab then click the
device manager.
