You need to install your sound driver so that your motherboard's sound chip can interface with windows, this driver should have been on a CD that came with the motherboard. If you don't have that you'll have to download the driver. Go to Start >> Control Panel >> Device Manager and see if your sound device is listed there, it will probably have a yellow triangle with an exclamation point next to it, or else a gray X. See if it lists what it is there, it will probably be RealTek something or other.

Post the make/model of the PC. If this is a custom build then post specs.

Once we have your system info we can help you install the correct Drivers

that are required.
