Right "My Computer", click "Manage", and then click on "Device Manager" and reply back what has a red tick or an exclamation mark next to it. Sounds like your computer may just be lacking a sound driver.

Also, what version of Windows do you have?

If it was working previous to this in last few weeks do a system restore back to roughly when you had sound
