If the sound is muted go into the Volume control and uncheck the Mute box.
If this does not work then reinstall the audio driver.
You can download the audio and device drivers from the Compaq/HP WEB support/download page. Make sure you select your model laptop and the Windows drivers you require and install them. Click on this link to download the drivers: -

SOURCE: Mute Button (touchpad)

This could be a simple driver glitch. Try uninstalling the audio drivers from the device manager, then reboot. The machine will find he sound card and reinstall the drivers automatically. Then go to HP's support site and check for any updated sound drivers or patches. If it's a glitch this will fix it. Keep in mind that it could also be a hardware problem with the mute switch, so if the driver procedure doesn't work, you might consider having it serviced.

SOURCE: NO SOUND ON A NEW HP DV4

sounds like it's a physical problem not software, but to be sure i would update the audio drivers and see if that helps.

go here and pick your system and follow the steps to get any new drivers and install and see what happens.

Disappearing icons

sounds more like either you have a virus, or there's someone who has hacked into your laptop to delete them.

if you haven't run a virus scan, i'd say do it now. if it doesn't turn up anything, then try a firewall and check for spyware as well.

Sounds like Spyware or Adware causing your issues. Try scanning it using http://superantispyware.com/ or AGV Free.
