1. Check a couple things:
1) Start > Settings > Control Panel > Sound and Audio Devices -- Look around and see if you see anything obvious, like is anything in an "error" state, and if so what?

2) Start > Run > services.msc (type that, then enter) -- scroll down to find "Windows Audio" and see if it is set to "Automatic" and if the services is running (if not, try to start it - right click, select Start)

Report back what you find

3. This may sound silly but...
check that the plug is still in the jack (if that applies to you).
