You will need to download and install the drivers for whatever sound card,
chip or device is present in your system.

Unfortunately it's hard for me to help you from here - I can't see what you
can see and can't reach your keyboard. ;-) You might want to look for
someone more knowledgeable who is just a bit closer to you and may be able
to assist if the instructions in the driver package and/or on the Web site
aren't very helpful.

I saw your message just as I finished updating from home basic to ultimate -
same problem.

I had the same problem with a new Dell Dimension E521, solved it by going to
Dell's support site and downloading and installing the audio driver.
Seems to have taken care of everything

If you have a Dell, go here and download the driver. It worked for me.
