            attucally I would do a right click on my computer go to properties and then hardware - device manger and see if there isnt any yellow !  which would indicate that your missing any.  Just right click the one needed and say properties then it say reinstall driver.

                Let's make it clear. You have Windows sounds, you can play iTunes, you can play music CDs, but you don't have any sound from your browsers, correct?
