I think I had this problem once. As I recall there was sweet FA in terms of advice. Do you have any other problems with sound? Like when you try to look at youtube or something, the sound won't play?. Some other application might be using your sound device.
My problem was solved by looking at the Windows local services menu and looking at any item that might affect sound. I think there was windows sound or something like it and I switched this to enable.
Good look.

Type msconfig.exe in the Run box accessed via the Start Menu, followed by clicking the Services tab. Look for Window Audio service. Click enable.
