Good day
Well, first things first...
1) you may need to install the sound driver if in Device manager is a (?) yellow mark on sound. reinstall the driver from your disks, or download from the manufacturer .
2) Check your BIOS for Enable the sound card.
3) this it it!
good luck

Hi abdi,
the problem is that your sound driver is not installed. You might have got a driver cd when you purchased your PC. Installed the required sound driver and you are done. if you dont know what driver you need you can try sound max or realtek ac97 or conexant audio driver...
hope it helps
regards
bozy

If you are able to hear sound while starting PC issue is not with sound card. that is installed and working properly. If you are clicking on any file that is not playing then window media player is not supporting that file. If you are directly opening window media player from start>>Program>>access>>>>window player and it is giving error. It mean that your player is corrupted. You can upgrade that with higher version of player by going this link. www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/9series/player.aspx
