Welcome to computer forum

sounds like you need a driver. did you make the computer your self or is it made by a brand.

 

[MYCOMPISF*CKEDUP]

its a HP i had xp on it b4 and it worked fine

i dont no where to look for a driver as my speakers are in my monitor that came with the comp and i have a intigrated sound card

ok go here.
start, right click my computer, manage, device maniger, and see if you have any exclamation marks

 

[MYCOMPISF*CKEDUP]

nope no exclaimation marks
i when to sound,video and gamecontrollers then clicked high def audio device and it said this device is working properly and all drivers where up to date

Try installing the drivers that came from your motherboard/sound card CD.

^^ i dont have a mostherboard/sound card cd because i have a brand name factory assembled pc all i have is the os cd.

Then you have to download the drivers on internet. But before doing this you have to know the exact reference of your sound card. Usually, HP have integrated sound cards on the motherboard. Again, usually, it is from Realtek on towers and from AC conexant on laptops.
