If you have mp3 player or something similar, even tv should be fine, you can test your speakers plugging them to some of thoseand test if there is sound, if there is problem is in computer and if there is not speakers are faulty, also it is good to check what Einnol stated.

Also if speakers are ok, try to remember when you last time heard sound, then try to remember when you noticed sound was gone, after that make note everything you did with computer, I have managed to do some things that I had no recall at all, but going back this way I have been able to isolate problem to enough narrow area to be found.

I did work bit over four years in customer support and computer repairing and it was quite uncommon to have fault in audio hardware, however not impossible, anyway best thing to do is to start from most simple thing and then eliminate possibilities one by one until you have found problem, worst thing to do is try this and that and maybe even that one there :)

Well in this case I am assuming its the speakers, I have had this happen 2 times for me. It's rarley ever the sound card, I have used sound cards from years ago to build office computers and they rarley are broken and there around 10 years old. Second, chances are your computer has a inergrated sound card. So in this case your speakers just blew, just plug in some headphones or buy new speakers. I have gotten 30 buck speakers and they work 10 times better then any normal speakers ... even came with a subwoofer.

Well it doesn't matter anymore. I remember someone telling me (when I used ASpeeder on one game to speed hack), that using it really eats up the sound card (at least I think it was the sound card), so instead of spending the trouble paying for every little chip in my computer, I just got a brand new one. Mine was about 4 years old anyway, and I had no idea how to use it back then. The thing was already screwed up from the beginning. Every time I turned it on the tower made this weird sound and the screen froze. Hopefully the new one doesn't get screwed up as bad, but I have experience now.
