Double click the 'sound' icon in the notification area. The volume Control
properties will open. Make sure the 'Wave' volume control is not muted
and/or slider bar is raised. If 'Wave' does not show up in the Volume
Control Properties, then click on Options at the top. Click Properties.
Then put a checkmark in 'Wave' to be able to adjust the volume for it.
Also, you may want to check the Device Manager to ensure drivers are
correctly loaded under Sounds, Video and Game controllers.
Hope this helps.
