Hi,
are your speakers set as the 'Default device'?
An image from 'sound problem'. Windows forum thread on sound problem with a Control Panel showing Speakers as default audio device.

If it was me I'd try uninstalling and then re-installing the sound driver. If there's a later version then even better.
