You need to reinstall the sound card driver. If you have the restore/driver disc supplied with the computer, install it from there. If not, you must go the the website for the manufacturer and download it. You will need the model number and maybe serial number too to narrow down which you need.
When on the site, look for support, drivers, downloads or similar. You will then be asked for model/serial. Most will then ask which Operating System (XP, Win7, 2000, 98... etc).
Then look for the sound driver. Download that, and install via the included instructions. Reboot after. Should help. If not, it is likely a hardware issue.

When i start play winamp a small window displays and shown as Bad Direct Sound driver . please install proper drivers or select another device in configuration .Error code :88780078 so i dont have any...

If your default media player is worrking alright then it is possible that the WINAMP installed is having some software issues with your laptop sound driver.
Hence it will be good to uninstall the winamp and choose a new download to be installed and tried.
However if there is issues with the media player then the driver must be reinstalled.

How can i resolve the error code 88780078 shown by winamp

Try going into the device manager and removing the sound driver. Hopefully you have the sound card driver. Then reboot the Pc if the system installs the driver software and you hear noise your good. If that doesn't install it from your cd. If it works try uninstalling the program that caused the problem.
