You can go to your control panel and click on your "Sound and audio devices" icon doing so will get you the "Sound and audio devices Properties" in this window go to the Audio tab in the top and see if any thing is listed under the default device if there is nothing listed try clicking the drop down menu but if you see the menu has been disabled that mean your sound card driver have been corrupted. If your sound card is an internal sound card inbuilt on your mother board then try using your mother board CD and install the audio driver... I think this will work. \n\nBest Of luck

check ur audio connector. if this does not solve it use your control panel. click on START/CONTROL PANEL/AUDIO DEVIECS, SOUND,AND SPEECH/ADJUST THE SYSTEM VOLUME . This solution is for those using Windows XP. But those using other windows edition should try START/SETTING/AUDIO DEVIECS, SOUND,AND SPEECH

Go to control panel, then add/remove programs. On the left side go to add/remove windows components. Click on it and then go to accessories, then click on details. Go to Accessories again and then details again. You can add the volume control. You can also get to your volume control under Start Menu, Programs, then Accessories, then Entertainment. You should see volume control in there.\n\nIf you cant get to it either way, do a system restore to yesterday. Go go Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools, and there is a system restore program that will restore your computer to yesterday.\n\nMicrosoft Help:\nSYMPTOMS\nOn a Windows XP-based computer, you may experience one or both of the following behaviors: \n• The Volume icon is no longer displayed in the notification area at the far right of the taskbar.  \n• When you try to add the volume control icon to the notification area (in the Sounds and Audio Devices utility in Control Panel, click to select the Place volume icon in the taskbar check box on the Volume tab), you receive the following error message:\nWindows cannot display the volume control on the taskbar because the Volume Control program has not been installed. To install it use Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel.  \nAs a result, you cannot start the Volume Control program and adjust the volume and sound level settings of your computer\n\nCAUSE\nThis behavior can occur if the Sndvol32.exe file is damaged or missing. \n\nRESOLUTION\nTo resolve this issue, extract a new copy of Sndvol32.exe from the Windows XP compact disc to the system_root&#92;System32 folder on your computer's hard disk. To do this, follow these steps: \n1. Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into your computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive. Press and hold down the SHIFT key as you insert the CD-ROM to prevent it from starting automatically. \n2. Click Start, and then click Run. \n3. In the Open box, type cmd, and then click OK. \n4. Type the following lines at the command prompt, pressing ENTER after each line, where CD-ROM drive is the drive letter of the computer's CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive that contains the Windows XP CD-ROM, and system_root is the path and folder name where the Windows system files are located (generally C:&#92;Windows):\nCD-ROM drive:\ncd i386\nexpand sndvol32.ex_ system_root&#92;system32&#92;sndvol32.exe \n\n\nNote that there is a space between "ex_" and "system_root" in this command. \n\nFor example, if your computer's CD-ROM drive is drive E, and the folder that contains the Windows system files is C:&#92;Windows, type the following lines at the command prompt (pressing ENTER after each line): \ne:\ncd i386\nexpand sndvol32.ex_ c:&#92;windows&#92;system32&#92;sndvol32.exe  \n5. Type exit to quit the command prompt. \n6. Verify that you can start Volume Control and that the Volume icon is displayed in the notification area (if you selected this option). \n\n\nI think a virus or a program has deleted the sndvol32.exe file.

Check device mgr - if all are sound devices are working properly - go to start>control panel>admin tools>services - scroll down to Windows audio. Make sure it is set to Automatic and all dependant programs are enabled.\n\nUnder the recovery tab select "restart service" for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd failures.\n\nWorked for me....
