this may or may not help, try taking out the cmos battery out (looks like a watch battery) and leave for a few minutes then replace, this will reset the bios.

SOURCE: Unable to Acces BIOS on IBM Netvista 607931u w/ Phoenix ROM BIOS
When the IBM Setup Utility program prompt is displayed, quickly press F1.
The prompt is displayed for only a short time.
if you dont see the prompt, tap F1 repeatedly as the computer starts. If it says "starting windows" you've let it go too far and will have to restart again and repeat the process to get into the bios
REGARDS..

I don't beleive this has Windows 7 support. What you can also tryis, click on "start", then "control panel". Find and right click on "device manager", open and click on continue. Click on the box(on right) next to "sound audio and game controllers". Do you see a warning, ?, !, or a yellow triangle. If you do click on that and follow proceedure. Right click on you Device(s) one at a time and you should see "disable". If you see "enable" click on that and exit. Right click on device again and click on "properties" then, on "driver" tab. Click on update driver, then on "automatically search for update....". When finished exit that. You should have a speaker icon in taskbar, lower right of screen. Right click on it then on "open sound mixer" and adjust volume.
