Have you accidentally pressed the mute button?

It is possibility that due to some virus infection sound driver has gone corrupted.
You need to check about your sound driver status.
To check your sound driver status please follow these steps:
> Start
> Settings
> Control Planel
> System
> Click on Hardware Tab
> Now click on Device Manager
> Now right click the sound driver and go to it's properties and click the option " roll back device driver"
If it not work, then you would have to re-install your sound driver.

Are all your leads plugged in properly?

[Prescott]

If you go to Control Panel and click on sounds you should be able to see whether or not your machine has muted itself. If it tells you it is OK then try the solution above.

may be your sound drivers are not working properly .

or the sound drivers are conflicting with some other software due to which sound gets disrupted .

or the speakers wire will be loose so the signals are not properly forwarded.

so update the sound drivers from the device manager.

sound tab should not be muted..

speaker would be connected to the power supply and the computer.
power should be on.

finally check the sound cable.
