Check and make sure your sound for the computer is on. If you are online, make sure the volume on that website is turned on. I have had similar problems. \nGood Luck

This is an odd problem but not surprising given the fickle nature of computers and their respective accessories. Here are a few suggestions for ya anyway sweetie...\n\n1. Try running a disk check by right clicking My Computer, Properties, going into the Tools tab and clicking on Check Now.\n\n2. Shut down your computer, wait a few minutes and see if the problem is still there.\n\n3. Go to your device manager and see if any audio device is listed. If not, you will probably need to download some drivers or a new sound manager.

Next time list the make and model of your computer and speakers, and the OS your running. With out that info all i could suggest is more sound trouble shooting:\nhttp://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=RNWK,RNWK:2005-50,RNWK:en&q=trouble+shooting+sound+issues

If the problem happens intermitmently like you described, we can rule out the settings (Here I suppose you know how to check the audio settings of your machine).  If so, it must be the hardware.  Since audio cards are cheap (You can get one for $20 and the sounds are pretty decent), install a new sound card.

Step 1: Checking volume and mute settings:\n\nThe volume setting for one or more sound devices might be disabled or set too low. Use the following steps to adjust volumes to their correct levels:\n\nIn Windows XP, click Start, and then click Control Panel.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, click Start, click Settings, and then click Control Panel \nIn Windows XP, open Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sound and Audio Devices.\nIn Windows 98 and ME, open Sounds and Multimedia, and then click the Audio tab. \nIn Windows XP, click the Advanced button under Device Volume.\nIn Windows 98 and Me, click the Volume button under Sound Playback. \nRemove all checkmarks from Mute boxes at the bottom of the Master Volume window and adjust the volume setting slide bars to their highest positions. Close the Master Volume window and test for sound. If there is still no sound, go to the next Step. \n\nStep 2: Verifying the connections:\n\nUse the following steps to verify that the sound cables are properly connected from the speaker to the computer (cable connectors and plug assignments are normally color-coded to aid with connections).\n\nUnplug the sound cable. \nPlug headphones or one speaker directly into the speaker out connector on the back of the computer. The speaker out connector may have a symbol of a speaker \nor a circle with an arrow pointing out, or it may just say "OUT" next to it. Test for sound using the computer. If sound does not work, go to "Step 3: \n\nIf sound is restored when the headphones or one speaker is plugged in, replace the original sound cable with a new sound cable and test for sound. Sound should be restored after replacing the sound cable. If sound does not come back after replacing the cable, the sound card needs to be replaced because the speaker out connector is bad.\n\nStep 3: Configuring on-board sound in the BIOS:\n\nSome computers come with sound on the motherboard (on-board), and some computers use a sound card. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS has to be set according to your particular sound configuration. Perform the following steps to correctly configure the sound in the BIOS:\n\nLook at the back of your computer and use one of the following three items to determine the proper sound configuration and sound setting: \nIf the plugs for the speakers and microphones are located next to the parallel, serial, or USB ports, then the computer has on-board sound. The on-board sound setting in the BIOS should be Enabled. If the plugs for the speakers and microphone are located away from the other ports and sit in an area by themselves, the computer has a soundcard. The on-board sound setting (if there is one) in the BIOS should be Disabled. If the computer has sound plugs in both locations, a \nsoundcard has been added to the computer that already contains on-board sound. The on-board sound setting should be Disabled. To enter the BIOS, turn on the computer and when the first screen appears, press the F1 key repeatedly until the BIOS Setup screen opens. Use the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys to select the Advanced tab. Press the DOWN ARROW key to select Onboard Audio Options and press ENTER. If Onboard Audio Options is not available, select I/O Device Configuration and press ENTER. If Audio Codec is listed, select it and press ENTER. Select either Enabled or Disabled depending on your \nconfiguration and press ENTER. Press the F10 key and then press ENTER to save and exit Start Windows and check for sound. If there is still no sound, continue to the next Step.\n\nStep 4: Restoring the sound drivers\n\nUse the recovery process to restore individual drivers for a sound or combination sound-modem card. \n\nIf the computer came with recovery discs (Windows 98 and Me), place the last disc of the set into the top disc drive and follow the on-screen menus as they appear. Restart the computer after restoring the sound driver software and test for sound.\nIf there is still no sound, continue to

Quickest easiest fix for problems like this is often  to download the newest drivers for your sound card.\n\n1. First you will need to know the name and model of your sound card, right click on my computer, click on properties, select the hardware tab then click device manager. Then click on the plus sign next to sound, video and game controllers. Your sound card is listed here. Sound Blaster is a common device.\n\n2. Type the name of your device into a Google Search to the effect of: "Drivers *name of sound card*" This will give you a bunch of sites you can download the newest driver. Download it to a location you'll remember, like your desktop.\n\n3. Once downloaded double click it and the driver should auto install. Reset your computer and you'll be back online.\n\nIf this doesn't solve the problem try uninstalling the driver first then reinstalling it. If this doesn't work you might have hardware problems. These are too many and too varied to answer here, call a friend who knows alot about computers and have them come over.

Check that your sound is not muted. \n\nIf you uninstalled XP, try downloding the sound drivers for your sound card from http://www.driverguide.com. If you don't know the name of your sound card, download AIDA32 (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html OR\n www.webattack.com/get/aida32.shtml OR\n http://www.google.com/searchq=AIDA32&btnG=Search\n) and let it discover it for you. Hope this helps.

I would just suggest to hook up speakers to your system, it's probably something with the setting of your laptop.  You might have an input plugged into the wrong area or something along those lines.  I would suggest to undo everything and make sure that the sound is still working on your laptop.  If it is then try connecting the monitor again and play with some of your audio settings.  I would try external speakers.  Just some suggestions. Best Wishes ;-)
