Yup go into device manager and check the drivers are loading okay.

Tried restarting? Sounds simple, but fixes a large amount of problems.

If you have to no success then +1 to the device manager checking.

OS is Windows 7, I would hazard a guess at the home premium 64-bit version.

Restart it then check your speaker drivers.

I would download the Ubuntu 11 CD and boot off it and check the sounds work. Then I now there is no hardware issue

Then I would remove the sound card in device manager and reboot/re-install

Check to see there is any new drivers..

Do you have a switch on the laptop for the sound?

Make and model of laptop?

Device Manager:-

Click on the Start Orb in the bottom left.
In the Start Search box type: device manager
press enter and you should see something similar to the below example.

In the 1st screen shot you posted, have you clicked on the "restore to defaults" bit?

[WannaBeDude]

You can remove it and restart, or select, update driver, or roll back driver ..

Either of these may fix the issue ...

Also possible your internal sound has malfunctioned.
